Sermon - Jeff Raines - A Glimpse of our Future [1 Corinthians 15:35-38]

Last week, we looked at Jesus' resurrection and this week, we're looking at our ultimate hope- our resurrection. Our ultimate destination is resurrection on the New Heaven and New Earth as seen in Revelation. Now we experience bodies that are perishable, dishonored, and weak, But when we experience resurrection, we will receive bodies that are imperishable, glorious, and strong. We will be changed and death will be swallowed up in victory!
More is in store for us than the cartoon image of our future as ghosts or floating around on the clouds with a harp! We can see all the bodies that God has made (elephants, hawks, jellyfist, nebulae, so is our imagination so starved that we don't think that God can affect an incredible transformation in us? That He can't create some kind of incredible body for us?
Resurrection means our lives matter. God cares about how we live. Our faith informs how we live- sin came into the world by eating something (the garden of Eden) and salvation also comes with eating something (The Lord's Supper). Jesus gives us hope as we grieve loved ones and look forward to the eternal life we have in Him.
