Quote to Consider
Herman Hoeksema on Lord’s Day 22: “Through the wonder of the resurrection … [the body] will attain to glory. All the effects of sin and death will be erased from its appearance, and it will be clothed with a perfection of beauty that is far greater than the glory it enjoyed in the state of original righteousness. For it will be made like unto the most glorious body of Christ … The body of the resurrection will be wholly subservient to our glorified spirit, and to the indwelling Spirit of Christ. By it we will be able to inherit the kingdom of God, which flesh and blood cannot inherit. In that new and eternal kingdom we shall see God face to face, we shall behold Christ and always be with Him, and we shall have direct contact and fellowship with the things that are heavenly. With new eyes we shall see the things that are now unseen, and with spiritual ears we shall apprehend the things that now lie beyond the scope of our hearing … Such is the glorious resurrection. It is the reunion of the glorified spirits of the saints with their glorified bodies, in the heavenly sphere of incorruption, power, glory, immortality, and spiritual things, to inherit the kingdom of God” (Triple Knowledge, vol. 2, pp. 284-286).
