His heavenly Resurrected body and our earthly healed body.

Praising the Lord as yesterday marked 3 weeks since Dr. Brennan surgically removed the sarcoma cancer from my body within a sterile environment surrounded by associates and other doctors who had trained for years to do what they have been gifted to do. I was put to sleep so not to feel the incision made to remove the cancer and other small body parts. I was sewn with stitches and then awakened gently by the caring staff and then watched 24 hours after to make sure all was well. That was 3 weeks ago and I am just beginning to feel less pain and more energy. Last night I took one pain pill and 12 hours took another one (whereas the days before – every 6 hours). I rejoice in all that the Lord is teaching me through these days and through His healing hands.

Now compare that sterile environment, the compassionate Doctors and staff, the small incision, the continued pain management (of all I thank God all the time for) to what our Savior went through – Filthy and rusty spikes driven into his hands and feet and then later a blunt spear thrust through His side. Not an area of His flesh left whole after the thrashing of the whip brought across His entire body. He had to bear a roughly huge cross upon his back and walk to the place of His continued sacrificed body. He was mocked and ridiculed and put to shame for all to see His nakedness.

3 days He rose again with a glorified, free from pain, resurrected heavenly body. No continue of overseeing of Doctors, pain medication, bandaging and cleansing of His wounds – for His body was made whole and will be forever more untouched by death or disease.

This is the difference between our Savior and all other men that has walked here on earth. And He is offering all who come to Him in faith the same kind of glorified body that He now has. Those who have been washed by the cleansing power of His blood by faith and have a relationship with Him. You and I love Him and He loves us, you and I are sure that one day we will no longer have a mortal body which continues to perish. We will be resurrected with a glorified body. And forever more we will no longer feel pain, sorrow, discomfort, and destruction.

“Thank you for giving us a token of what is to come by rising again and displaying yourself to those who loved you while you were on earth. We wait for your return Lord and in the mean time worship you and tell others of your great grace.”
