IN THE IMAGE OF THE MAN OF HEAVEN
"Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven."
(1 Corinthians 15:45-49, ESV)

Science fiction and technological advancement may predict that humans might someday indwell robotic bodies, but the eyewitnesses of Christ’s resurrection say He had a body made of "flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39). While Christ ate and drank without leaking, He also walked through walls and locked doors, before soaring up into heaven unaided. What do these words mean: "Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven" (1 Corinthians 15:49, ESV)?
