Most of us have traded in an older car for a newer or even a new one. Our death and spiritual resurrection with Jesus Christ is just a super natural trade in process.
While I can say that I don't understand it all, I do know that we do recieve a new body with a supernatural reality. Frankly, I am up for that. As I grow older I am getting more aches and pains and it makes me think more about heaven, new body and eternity with Christ.
In fact, I think that was a great plan to design us this way. If our body was always perfect, then we would not be so interested in heaven and a new body.
Make sure you have your "trade in" plans in place!
God bless you,

I am constantly reminded that my body is imperfect. I ache and various parts don't seem to work as well as they used to. The funny saying, "Help me!, I've fallen and can't get up!" isn't so funny when you fall and can't get up. Just don't bounce like I used to. TV, newspaper, and magazine ads tell me I am over weight and out of shape, then bombard me with temptation of all kind of wonderful things to continue getting over weight and out of shape. Satan uses information from my rebellious years to flood my mind with evil thoughts. My daily time in the Word and in communication with Him helps me battle against all this. What will my new body be like in Heaven? I don't know and I don't much care because that is in my Father's hands. He has promised it will be new, with no pain, or suffering or mental anguish and struggle. I will be able to praise and worship Him for eternity completely free from this old imperfect world. Hallelujah.
