THE INVINCIBLE YOU: THE REGENERATED BODY
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
THE INVINCIBLE YOU: THE REGENERATED
BODY
John 11:11 NIV
“ After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend
Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."
The
lord Jesus received information from a messenger saying Lazarus a dear friend
of His was terminally ill and a day later the messenger returned to Bethany.
Unscathed by the news Jesus continued on His missionary work for a whole day
thereafter, He departed for Bethany and on arrival His dear friend Lazarus had
long died and was already buried. It took four whole days from the time Jesus
was informed about Lazarus’ illness to when He physically arrived at his graveside. It was a deliberate act urging the disciples to believe His word no
matter how discouraging the circumstances might appear. Eventually Lazarus was
raised from the dead and presented to his family (John 11:1-16).
The death of Lazarus was spoken of as ‘sleep’; however, the disciples
earlier thought Jesus was speaking of Lazarus simply resting until he told them
in simple terms that he was dead. Death is final to the naturally minded but to
the spiritually minded and from God’s perspective there is a resurrection.
Jesus Christ gave a vivid illustration of what happens at death in the gospel of John 12:24-26” I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.” The seed that are buried in the ground would first ‘die’ and then is resurrected as a plant. The plant and the seed bear no resemblance but are actually the same. The plant is the seed in a resurrected condition, likewise, our physical bodies will die but they will be resurrected just as surely as seeds produce plants (1thesselonians 4:15-17).
Our glorified bodies will be similar to our physical bodies as originally planned, the crippled will be resurrected and completely healed, likewise, the deaf, blind, and lame will all be seen in their regenerated state. Lazarus was completely healed of all his infirmities after resurrection, though he died again because the second coming of Christ was yet to be accomplished. The resurrected body will be glorious exactly like the resurrected body of Christ. He still looked human, He ate food (Luke24:42-43), had the print of the nails in His hands and feet (Luke24:39), and He said He had flesh and bones. Yet he could appear and disappear. Our resurrected bodies will be immortal - not subject to death. You are not ordinary; your body carries the genes of the resurrected Christ. You are supernatural and as you read this now the power of resurrection swallows up every weakness in your body and mind in Jesus name.
