  2. The nature of resurrected bodies 1 Corinthians 15:35-50

  3. Acts 17:32 32 When they heard about resurrection of the dead, some began to ridicule him. But others said, “We’d like to hear from you again about this.”

  4. The Bottom Line Through belief in Jesus, we are not only spiritually reconciled to God, but we will also be bodily resurrected into eternal life on a glorious physical New Earth.

  5. 1 Cor. 15:35 35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come?” SOME BIG QUESTIONS…

  6. How is resurrection possible? 1 Cor. 15:36-41 -- 36 Foolish one!What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And as for what you sow—you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones. 41 There is a splendor of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for one star differs from another star in splendor.

There are always people who refuse to entertain an idea because they declare that it is impossible.

  8. How is resurrection possible? 1 Cor. 15:36-41 -- 36 Foolish one!What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And as for what you sow—you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones. 41 There is a splendor of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for one star differs from another star in splendor. Paul declares such thinking to be FOOLISH!

Psalm 14:1-3 -- 1 The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.” They are corrupt; they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God. 3 All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

  19. Areas of Upgrade… Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption (vs. 42) sown in dishonor, raised in glory (vs. 43a)

  20. Areas of Upgrade… Daniel 12:1-3 -- At that time Michael the great prince who stands watch over your people will rise up. There will be a time of distress such as never has occurred since nations came into being until that time. But at that time all your people who are found written in the book will escape.2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to eternal life, and some to shame and eternal contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the bright expanse of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption (vs. 42) sown in dishonor, raised in glory (vs. 43a)

Areas of Upgrade… Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption (vs. 42) sown in dishonor, raised in glory (vs. 43a) sown in weakness, raised in power (vs. 43b) John 20:19 -- 19 In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”

  23. Areas of Upgrade… Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption (vs. 42) sown in dishonor, raised in glory (vs. 43a) sown in weakness, raised in power (vs. 43b) Luke 24:13-16,30-31 -- 13 Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. 15 And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them.16 But they were prevented from recognizing Him.30 It was as He reclined at the table with them that He took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.

  24. Areas of Upgrade… Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption (vs. 42) sown in dishonor, raised in glory (vs. 43a) sown in weakness, raised in power (vs. 43b) Acts 1:9 -- After He had said this, He was taken up as they were watching, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.

  27. How do we get one of these bodies? 1 Cor. 15:45-49 -- 45 So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 Like the man made of dust, so are those who are made of dust; like the heavenly man, so are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the man made of dust, we will also bear the image of the heavenly man.

  28. How do we get one of these bodies? 1 Cor. 15:45-49 -- 45 So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 Like the man made of dust, so are those who are made of dust; like the heavenly man, so are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the man made of dust, we will also bear the image of the heavenly man. John 1:12-13 -- 12 But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God , to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.

  29. The Bottom Line 1 Cor. 15:50 -- 50 Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption.

  30. Money & Possessions “Much financial counsel, from secular and sometimes Christian sources, serves the same purpose as instruction on how to maneuver a canoe heading toward a waterfall. It’s not only important to know how to get the canoe down the river, it’s also essential to know where the river is taking you. Before we learn the fine art of building a sturdy boat or the skill of staying in the boat as we head down the rapids, we should make certain that our desired destination is really downstream rather

  31. Money & Possessions than upstream. Because if it’s upstream, we would do better to get off the river altogether, forget the boat, and plot our course by land. It may be a harder trip, but isn’t the whole point to arrive at the correct destination? I believe that most of the financial matters we typically discuss are on the fringes of what’s important, light years away from the core of the issue.” -Randy Alcorn in Money, Possessions, and Eternity
