John 5:25-29:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. “For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.
Though I don’t know exactly what Christians’ bodies are going to be like after the resurrection, it’s not difficult to imagine the possibilities. Bodies of glory. Imperishable. Of the new creation. Something very cool. Something of awe.
What is harder to imagine is what the resurrection will be like for the wicked, those outside of Christ. It’s clear from this passage in John 5 that the wicked will also be resurrected, to eternal punishment. Which means that they too will have eternal bodies.
Matthew 10:28 –
“Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
The body of the wicked faces the same fate as the soul. And this leads to that which is so hard for me to picture… what a body of eternal punishment will be like? A body that is not ever destroyed, yet is continually destroyed for all eternity.
Thank the Lord, for He has given us the way to eternal life… through His own blood. We do not have to worry about what that eternal body of punishment will be like if we come to Christ, to the eternal Life.
Writing for Christ! 
amen to that! I am sooooooooo glad I don’t have to worry about that. I put on the imperishable and desire to continue on with that body till the day I get to go home.
I have never thought about that… not sure if I want to try and imagine what that might be like for someone not in Christ…maybe we need to to get us thinking more along the lines of rescuing people from that fate???
