glistering, exceeding white; so as no fuller on earth can whiten them"+ (Mark 9:2, 3). 3. The next thing that we are told about _our resurrection bodies_ is that they _will not be flesh and blood_. In I Cor. 15:50, 51 we read, +"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."+ Paul is here talking about our resurrection bodies. It is in the resurrection chapter he says this, and he distinctly tells us that our resurrection bodies will not be "_flesh and blood_." 4. But while _our resurrection bodies_ will not be "flesh and blood," they _will have "flesh and bones."_ This appears from what our Lord Himself says about His own resurrection body in Luke 24:39. Here we read that Jesus said: +"See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye behold me having."+ As our resurrection bodies are to be transformed into the likeness of His, we also must have "flesh and bones" in our resurrection bodies. Some have fancied that they saw a contradiction between what our Lord says here and what Paul says in the passage quoted above (I Cor. 15:50, 51), but there is no contradiction. "Flesh" we shall have, but not "flesh _and blood_," i.e., not flesh, the animating principle of which is blood. The question arises, What takes the place of the blood in our resurrection bodies? The answer seems to be that in the present life, "blood is the life" of the natural body, but in the life to come our bodies are to be, as we are told elsewhere in this same chapter, "_spiritual_ bodies," i.e., bodies, the animating principle of which is the Spirit of God, not our own blood. Our not having "_blood_" in our resurrection bodies involves many great and glorious possibilities, upon which we cannot dwell now. 5. In the fifth place (and closely connected with 3 and 4), _our resurrection bodies will be incorruptible_. We read in I Cor. 15:42: +"So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption."+ The thought of this word "incorruption" is that the body is not subject to decay, it is imperishable. Our present bodies are decaying all the time. We are perishing every day and every minute. My present body is disintegrating while I talk to you. But the bodies that we shall receive in the resurrection will be absolutely free from the liability to corruption or decay. They _cannot_ disintegrate or suffer decay or deterioration of any kind.
