But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:35-41 ESV)
Admit it. There is much spiritual truth we do not understand, and cannot fully understand in this life. We want to, and feel we must. But really, does it matter? Part of the glory of heaven and of God Himself is that we cannot fully comprehend it all. If we could fit that all in our minds, what a little god he would be. But our God is overwhelmingly awesome, and so is the place He's preparing, and the new creation He is making. It is part of the sovereignty of God that we often object to: that He has a right to secrets He has chosen to not show us yet. The important question is "If". Do we believe what God has proven and promised in the resurrection? If we do, then HOW He does it will be just as amazing as He is, and we do not need to know it all now.
