As we shall resemble the angels in beauty, so no doubt we shall also equal them in strength:
“Bless the Lord, ye his angels that excel in strength.”
Thus saith the apostle, “It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.”
What kind of power that will be we may guess.
There will be an enlarged mental capacity, a far more extensive spiritual range.
So far as the new body is concerned, there will be an amount of power in it of which we have no conception.
What we shall be, beloved, in the matter of strength, we cannot tell, but this we know, that we shall not need so constantly to stretch our weary frames upon the bed of rest, and to lie half our time in unconsciousness, for we shall serve him day and night in his temple; and this indicates a degree of unweariedness and physical endurance to which we are total strangers now. We shall in this also be as the angels of God.Just then for a minute let your thoughts foresee that blessed personality which shall be yours when this present age is past.
You suffer today, you are today despised and rejected; but as from yonder creeping caterpillar, or from this dried up chrysalis, there will arise a lovely creature with wings coloured like the rainbow, so from your poor groaning humanity there shall come forth a fair and lovely being; while your spirit also shall cast off the slough of its natural depravity, be rid of all the foulness and damage of its sojourn here below, and your whole man shall be restored a goodly fabric - a temple glorious to look upon, in which God shall dwell with you, and in which you shall dwell with God.
