The body beautiful…
Jesus graced, dignified, and was glorified in a human body. He was not hung up on the appearance.
He used His body as a vessel to pay tribute to the Father, living holily, laboring amongst and lending a hand to His fellowman, enjoying this experience called life with those He loved, and then presenting His body in sacrifice that we may live through faith in His death, burial, and resurrection…
He gave His body to save us, raise us to eternal life complete with a resurrected glorious body beautiful no longer subject to the flaws brought by the curse of sin and shame, the flawed judgments of flawed hearts, but forever glorious, viewed in righteousness with purity and majesty.
Keep your body in Christ perspective…Love your body. Take care of your body. Use your body to holily live, love, and give as did your Christ—illuminating the fact that you are a part of His body…When the Father looks upon the body of Christ, He beholds a body beautiful…He looks beyond the veneer and sees the virtue, His Son in us…
God is good; praise Him all ye people...
Romans 12:1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 Corinthians 6:14. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
