我们大多数人可能会承认，在理想情况下，我们希望矫正或改变自己身体的某些方面。也许我们有某种过敏症，或某种疾病，或某种残疾。我们的身体并不完美。然而，我们也不得不承认，我们并不确定一个完美的身体是怎样的。

基督的教会相信死人复活，这意味着除了耶稣基督的复活之外，当耶稣再来时，所有相信基督的人都会复活。我们现在不完美的身体将会复活改变，成为完全的人。总之，靠着神高深莫测的大能，我们的身体将成为不朽的、有灵性的，但也是有形的。何等奇妙！

我们不知道这种转变会是什么样子，但我们可以相信，它将是美好的。它将具备神为我们设想的所有必要特征。

当耶稣再来时，我们每个人的身体——虽然死了、埋了、腐烂了或变成了尘土——但它仍将“复活为不朽坏的……复活为荣耀的……复活为强壮的……复活为有灵性的”。（参林前 15:42-44）总之，我们的新身体也会有骨有肉，能吃能喝，就像复活的耶稣与祂的门徒见面时那样。（参路 24:36-43）想一想，神的奇迹何其多！

Most of us would probably admit that, ideally, we’d like to have something corrected or changed about our bodies. Perhaps we have an allergy, or a disease, or a disability of some kind. Our bodies are not perfect. Yet we also have to admit that we are not sure what a perfect body would be.

The Christian church believes in the resurrection of the dead. This means that in addition to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we believe that when Jesus comes again there will be a resurrection of all who have believed in Christ. Our present, imperfect, physical bodies will be raised and made whole. Somehow, by the mysterious power of God, our bodies will become immortal and spiritual and yet also be physical. Amazing!

We do not know what this transformation will look like, but we can trust that it will be good. It will have all the necessary features that God has in mind for us.

When Jesus comes again, each of our bodies—though dead and buried and decayed or turned to dust—will be “raised imperishable… raised in glory… raised in power . . . raised a spiritual body.” Somehow too, it seems, our new bodies will have flesh and bones and be able to eat food, like the resurrected Jesus did when he met with his disciples (Luke 24:36-43). Think of all the wonders God has in store!
