So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
(1 Corinthians 15:42-44 ESV)
Every fall the car magazines come out with descriptions of the new car models and updates. Some models have cosmetic changes; some have a total redesign; others are dropped and replaced with a new model. But they are still... cars, with a power plant to drive on the road with four tires (most of the time...) What would be new (and not impossible) is a hovercraft that does NOT drive on the road. It would be made for something different. In the same way, our new, glorified bodies will not be made for life in this world as we know it. It will not be a mere upgrade, redesign, or merely a replacement with a nicer model. It will be totally different. But that does not make it impossible. What makes it impossible in our minds is that we have not seen it yet. We will some day. What a glorious day!
