“If any person be in Messiah, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away and behold new things have come” II Corinthians 5:17. In Messiah the old creation is fading away and the new creation is coming; the old is gone and the new has begun to arrive. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead gave Him a new body. We enter that new creation now by being raised up with Him. It will be at the great final resurrection that we will have a body like our Lord. All things new! What a promise!
“And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’” Revelation 21:5 (NRSV)
