Reading – 2 Corinthians 5:1-5
Highlight Verse:
“For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.”
2 Corinthians 5:1 NLT
For those of you who have downloaded the reading list, you will notice a departure from what I had previously chosen. That’s because, today, we are in Nebraska to say our last goodbyes to my mother-in-law.
We are all mortal.
I feel the weight of years in this body, though I believe I have many years to go. But there will come a day when the weight of this body will be lifted and I will have a new body in heaven – one that will not wear out.
Today’s verse and several like it bear witness to that fact.
My kids’ grandma will be getting her new body soon. We will miss her desperately, but we know that she looked to Jesus for her eternal life. We will meet her again someday and she’ll be that spry, kind, and fun lady she once was.
Do you believe that you have a heavenly body waiting for you?
Have you trusted God for it?
