In the Creed, Christians confess that we believe in the “resurrection of the body.” But what does that mean? In our Gospel reading from Luke, we join the disciples in beholding with amazement the resurrected body of our Savior – talking, eating, relating. And in 1 John 3, we are told that we will be like Jesus on the day of His appearing – when He returns as King of kings and Lord of lords. The combination of these readings give us real hope of the full-bodied human existence we were always meant for, without shame, weakness, or death.
