Christ
is risen! In a physical body, a touch me, put your hands in the wounds,
sit down and let's eat breakfast body. Not the same body, but a body
2.0 the next generation, a glorified, walk through the wall, ascend into
heaven resurrection body. This is no pie in the sky, by and by escapist
salvation this is first fruits of the restoration of all things the
transformation of heaven and earth into something more real and free
from corruption.
A resurrection Jesus shows me that my world is
not an illusion, that my body is not a prison, but a seed. This
teaches me to love the earth, to love myself and my body for what they
are and what they are to become. The resurrection is a declaration
against self-loathing and dualism that separates who I am and the world I
live in as if heaven is someplace else. The kingdom is here among us
and within us as Jesus leads us in the procession of his victory over
sin and death, into that age where all things are reconciled into the
shalom of God's reign of unending life, world without end!
