Because of the resurrection of Jesus, our permanent address is no longer the cemetery. There is going to be a resurrection of the body. There is going to be a new heaven and new earth for that new body to inhabit. Yes, we will go back to dust, but the God who created Adam from dust will cause that dust to be born into a new creation. Oh, my! Oh, my! The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ will see to it. We will hear His voice! We will come forth! We will live!
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” John 5:24-25 (ESV)
