One of the most personal questions about heaven is this: Will I still be me? This week Dr. Jeremiah brings Scripture's reassuring and remarkable answer.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Paul uses the metaphor of a seed and a plant to explain resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15. A seed bears no resemblance to the flower it becomes — yet there is real continuity between them. How does that image help you think about the relationship between your current body and your resurrection body?
2.Dr. Jeremiah describes resurrection bodies as glorified, imperishable, powerful, and spiritual — yet still genuinely physical, as Jesus' own resurrection body demonstrates. Which of those four qualities means the most to you personally, and why?
3.Many people who live with chronic pain, disability, or the slow deterioration of aging carry a deep, quiet grief about their bodies. How does the promise of Philippians 3:20-21 — that Christ 'will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body' — speak specifically to that grief?
