The first Easter was vitally important, because that was the day God first revealed his gift of eternal life to us. In our scripture reading this morning, the Apostle Paul faces this difficult question head on. The human being who dies on earth is perishable. However, the human being God raises after death is imperishable. God provides different kinds of bodies for all the different kinds of things in our world.
Birds have one type of body, fish have another, the moon has yet another.
God provides us humans with two different kinds of bodies. We presently have our earthly body which we can see. There is also a heavenly body, which God will create for each and every one of us. This tent gradually wastes away, until it is finally destroyed. However, we also have another body, an eternal body, which is like a house in heaven, prepared for us by God.
