His Endless Life


His Endless life can be Your's through faith.
Jesus endless body was:
  1. A body of flesh and bone, not flesh and blood - 1 Cor 15:50 Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.
  2. A Spiritual body, no longer a natural body - 1 Cor 15:42-44 - The body is sown in corruption, it is raised incorruption.  It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory.  It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.  It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.  There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.

  3. A Heavenly body, no longer an earthly body - 1 Cor 15:47-49 - The first man (Adam) was of the earth, made of dust, the second man is the Lord from heaven.  As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust, and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly.  And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
The second man meaning he is the first man to die and become resurrected never to taste death again - the endless Christ.
  1. A glorified body, no longer veiling the glory inside his flesh - Revelations 1:10 -16 I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day and I heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.  12-Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me, and having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girded about the chest with a golden hand, his head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow and his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet were like fine brass as if refined in a furnace and his voice as the sound of many waters.
The Golden Lampstands - The church to be the light of the world
In the midst of the lampstand - Christ in the midst of the churches that gather together in His name.
Garment down to the feet - The glorified Christ dressed as our High Priest.
Head and Hair white as wool - Symbolizing purity and endless wisdom.
Eyes like a flame of fire - Symbolizing righteousness and judgment.
Feet like a fine brass as if refined - Brass hermeneutically speaking always is a symbol of judgment.
Jesus had an immortal body no longer able to die but to live in the power of an endless life.  Hebrews 7:15-16 Another priest (Jesus) who has come not according to the law of a fleshly commandment but according to the power of an endless life.
The law was only able to regulate the earthly priests external affairs.  He looked good on the outside, but full of sinful death on the inside.  The Word of God can help regulate external actions, however you need the Power of the Word and The Spirit to transform the inner man.  II Cor 5:17 - If any man be in Christ, He Is a new creature.
Jesus had a Powerful body, no longer subject to sinless infirmities of hunger, thirst, weariness.  It could pass through doors, vanish and appear at will.  St. John 20:19 - Then the same day at evening being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them, Peace be with you.
Jesus had an Incorruptible body because of its sinlessness.  Acts 2:31-32 - Concerning the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
He had an ascending and returning body.  He will so come in like manner, the second time as he ascended to heaven, that is visibly, personally, actually and bodily.  Rev 1: 7- Behold He is coming with clouds and every eye will see him, even they who pierced him and all the tribes of the earth will mourne because o
