I Corinthians 15:35-58
Dear RTB’ers,
| What is sown is … | What is raised is … |
| Perishable | Imperishable |
| Dishonor | Glory |
| Weakness | Power |
| A natural body | A spiritual body |
In comparing the earthly and the heavenly, Paul compares Adam with Jesus and identifies us directly both to Adam and to Jesus: The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second Man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the Man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the Man of heaven. (vv. 47-49) “We shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.” Awesome!! That’s something to look forward to!
What a powerful section of Scripture we are reading today!!
Blessings!
