It was good to hear from you.  Yes, our aches and pains remind us that time, wear and tear on our bodies, like the first Adam are disintegrating! Some of us look rather unsightly before burial.  So there are times when we are clearly aware that these bodies are “…sown in corruption”.

But [...]]]> Dear Friend,

It was good to hear from you.  Yes, our aches and pains remind us that time, wear and tear on our bodies, like the first Adam are disintegrating! Some of us look rather unsightly before burial.  So there are times when we are clearly aware that these bodies are “…sown in corruption”.

But we Christians anticipate a new body like our Lord Jesus Christ’s resurrected body as a part of our salvation.  Everything we inherited from our first Adam is spoiled and subject to decay.  But when we became sons of God by faith in the last Adam we are guaranteed a new body incorruptible and our new bodies will be beyond the reach of sin, disease, and death.  Isn’t that fantasic?  This removes the sense of futility and hopelessness.  The best is yet to be!  And this is true for Christian loved ones too.  They may go “home” before us but all who are in Christ are headed for a better reunion- Christians never meet for the last time.  So I’ll see you here or there or in the air.

Rejoicing in Christ,

Ron
