Society today
is so obsessed with body image that some people feel they can retain their youth,
sculpt a glorious body and have unlimited strength — all through diet, exercise
and body building. I’m not sure they are ready to hear that their natural body
is perishable, dishonorable and weak. Paul reminds us not confuse the natural
body with the raised spiritual body. “So will it be with the resurrection of
the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in
weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body,
it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Cor 15:42-44a NIV).
