Today's message with Dr. Don Wilton almost gracious, loving heavenly father you are indeed gone. Robert King of the universe to create a great guy, the one we live and move and have our being. And we stand in all of you today. Thank you for your goodness to us.

Thank you for your grace and mercy.

Thank you for the way in which you encourage. Thank you. Most of Jesus Christ, the gift of your loving son, in whom we have life we have it more abundantly, father we gather collectively today as God's people, people from every drink of life people from every circumstance we come together to worship, to sing praises to your name and to lift high the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and ongoing our earthly father will we honor you because you are our heavenly father and we see you today and we want to know the mind of Christ. We want to rent circumspectly. We want to understand what is the height of your love a little bit your grace the mall. The 16th of you. We want to be by the mighty power of your spirit in the man we want never to be the same again. And so our father I pray today is that you would harness our souls that you would gather us together that you would love us and exempt us that you would review costs and chastise us that you would teach us and direct us in the Lord Jesus means God's people would never be the same again because we have found ourselves in the presence of them in the wonderful sovereign God, in whose name we pray these things a man would you take your Bibles this morning. Please in turn with me to first Corinthians chapter 15 friends as you are turning there in your Bibles. I'm going to say something to we going to be looking at the subject that I believe to be absolutely likely significant in our lives. It's one that brings to mind major question. It requires intensive Bible study. It has to do with life. Often there because it involves the issues that we know so little about questions like where my going to go when I die what happens to me. What happens to my body, what happens to my soul. What's the difference when I get to heaven Monday to look like now that's a good question is hopping some of us a day to breathe a sigh of relief lunch or how my day to speak what I eat anything close to me. Perhaps the most important question of the role is all we going to know one another when we get to him.

And so I have been trying my message today. One of the most salient and most wonderful of the timeless foods in a changing world heritage by moving see dad again.

I do know this that I will see dad again. Now the question is going to be this one is he going to look like what am I going to look like when we going to live for that matter. We going to live in houses all we going to go and visit each other all we going to look around. All we going to go fishing. I certainly hope we going to play golf. What are we going to do when we get to heaven. Does the Bible so any light on these things that are important questions. Yes, they are questions that pertain to curiosity became important and I think that you and I could say quite comfortably this morning that doesn't matter.

Some of these things where the we go fishing and golfing. When we say the most important part is whether or not we're going to see one another again and whether we deign to know one another again with we going to recognize one another, and indeed identifiable law we going to be seeing friends this finds its heartbeat in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and God gives to us is rooted in the Bible and God gives to us is good design by his spirit. People like you and me coming to a sense of understanding even from a human limitation of what God has in store for us because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. This is our inheritance. When the Bible says that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not die, but shall receive everlasting or eternal life. Caring lies missing thickens of the eternal life which I have been given by God's grace I have become a recipient of everything that God has done for me in Christ Jesus.

What the timeless truth. Why look forward to date.

How can these things be amongst others because we going to be with the Lord Jesus Christ, but also because we are going to be together, you and me. Those of us who love the Lord Jesus Christ, forever and forever and forever and forever we going to begin to die and I'm going to do this in two parts. I will confess to you in the early service today. I had intentions to do this in one service.

I bought less than half way through my message, and realize just how extensive and how wonderful this is. Folks, I'm not going to rush through something like this. It is too important. There is so much that God teaches us about want you to have your Bibles open. I expect everybody to have a Bible in their this is this is not what I'm saying to you. This is what God says you need to see if we assume so. Follow along with me and be guided begin in first Corinthians chapter 15 I'm going to read a passage to you and I will of course stop rather frequently so be ready for it. This is just a small part of what God's word teaches us concerning the resurrection of the dead. I'm going to invite you in your own private time to go back to verse one of chapter 50 this entire verse pertains to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember that if we want to come to an understanding of these things we need to understand that everything that we know about life off today is inextricably intertwined into the person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. None of these Things Can Take Pl. outside of Jesus Christ by all because of Jesus Christ, they are bound into the very end ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ Sunday to begin this morning just in verse 35 of first Corinthians chapter 15 but someone might ask how all the data greatest that question is lost because we read it frequently. You can even go back into Daniel chapter 12 and you going to read about the resurrection of the dead, but look at the next question with what kind of body will they, well, I'd like to know that my soul how foolish what you sow does not come to life unless it dies without friends just just listen here for a minute. This is very important. We gonna be laying some groundwork care from God's word and it seemed thrust to understand what God is trying to teach us here. We deign to understand that the graveyard of mankind becomes the sea plot of Christ's eternal life. We got to understand that it is in the abdomen that we will walk die, but in Christ Jesus. We all want made alive now want you to notice this and the spirit of God speaking through the apostle failure is going to begin to present an illustrative proposition to us. God is doing by his grace. He's going to begin to show some of the most incredible timeless in a changing world and what God is going to do is he's going to take us in our humanness and he's going to impact our lives through things that we all perhaps a little more ready to understand because they are things that happen to us on a day by day basis. So the question is been Austria Hollywood baby raised, and second of all, what will our bodies look like. What am I going to look like when I get to heaven. The first thing he does as he begins to use an agricultural metaphor illustration.

He begins to take us back to something that we are familiar with the script 37 ringing so you do not plonk the body that can be but just a seed's are believed to form something else but God gives it a body as he has determined and to each kind of seed he gives its own body by significant concrete, I'm going to be if I could just be honest with you I Moscow I wouldn't mind being just a few inches taller, because I always wanted to be my son's exhaustible. I know it's not going to happen we we we are born as we are not just think about how we come to be a tiny little seed clueless unites with a tiny little in the mother's womb, and the two become fused together and begins to grow and to multiply. Eventually, often nine months, a beautiful little baby is born and as a baby begins to grow that baby begins to develop the human characteristics that cost to be clearly identifiable to one another. I can look around the congregation and I see people get a day that are clearly identifiable to me. I just take one look you see we look at one another. We are identifiable and what God is about to say to us is list of frames. Listen the same truth that is applied to our natural state. I'm gonna read about this is the same truth that is going to carry over and be applied to our spiritual state. Now let's see how this works pickup with me here.

I'm going to go back to verse 38. God gives it a body as he has determined and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Verse 39/is not the same man have one kind of flash animals have another, birds have another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and there will be the bodies and the splendor of the earthly bodies is one kind. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another, and star differs from star in splendor. Well, alright, let's do it now everybody wears him and what we learned last week everybody pointed heaven for me, it's up there.

How do we know that the Bible said so let me tell you heavens for boards. All the stars of the firmament when you go outside in the evening you look up and you see that marvelous array of stars and you look at all those stars they will look the same to an untrained eye, but you know that astrologers and people who are qualified in these areas. Astronomers that look up and they will tell you that every Reese law hung there by broadening his sovereign grace is equally different from another. Every star is completely unique, completely unique, what is God doing in St. Louis. I know that you folks who love me, you got questions about things that are difficult on the spare. What am I going to reply, going to be raised from the dead with him.

He knew this first bill I want you to think about a seed you proceed in the ground and something brothers everything that goes begins at a seed but it takes shape. According to the design that God has put, if you please. This is all that see it's not different animals have a different look and manner evident from fish have a different birds have a different look but it's like the stars in all glory they look the same. By all closed in the splendor of the Shekinah of Almighty God. But each one of them is the in the eyes of Almighty God. Now look at verse 42 so it is even that phrase they so will it be just the same as I'm trying to show you about differences and mutual sameness as human beings, so it will be off to you die, so it will be with the resurrection of the deed the body that is so is perishable, that wise my body.

Folks I'm here to tell you that it is. My body is perishable, my arthritis in my joints in my teeth and my hair and and and everything we ought to die what God is doing is God is just simply confirming what we know to be true. Listen to how he puts the sin to help us to understand. He says the body that is so is perishable, but it is raised, how imperishable. Now hold on a minute watch me watch me very important we going to discover in a minute.

The theological significance of the perishable body which our spiritual body effect on then you go back in just a minute to the great love chapter I'll show you how God commits these things to us. He says the body that his son is perishable, it is right is imperishable. It is so induced Donna why because of the sin of Adam. It is raised in glory why because resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It is so this pit is raising.

It is so natural body, and it is always nice spiritual if there is a natural body, so also there is a spiritual body so it is written on this basis, the first man Adam became a living being.

In the Hebrew text, the word is Nefesh. It means the very brief of God. It means the very soul and the heartbeat of the one who laws and who is and who ever will be grieved into the very being of man was in place. This imperishable body. The first man became a living, and the loss Adam, who is Christ Jesus became a life giving spirit. Now closeness.

When Jesus Christ died on the cross, he became life giving spirit. It is because of his dad that we have that watch how this all ties together verse 36. This ritual did not come first. But the natural and also the spiritual alright let me backtrack just a minute what God is saying to us in his word is that he cannot be raised to our spiritual state accepting the natural occurred in first conceived in sin and then we loss free by the grace of God in Christ Jesus and because of his resurrection. We always spiritual Skype you will laugh with him forever. And for everyone want to say I'm into that. This morning Allison the first man verse 47 was of the dust of the earth. The second man, Jesus Christ.

From heaven, why do they call him the second man is that disrespectful.

No, because Jesus Christ became flesh for us.

He is the God man that is the deity of Christ.

That's why we preach Christ Jesus and him crucified. The first abdomen being Adam in the flesh, the second Adam being Christ Jesus in the spirit and the word of God chose us with the first man asked the second man was from the dead same good to be seated at the right hand of the father. Even to this is making intercession for you and me. Forgive the interruption will be back with the rest of today's message in just a moment. But as we've been studying the word together.

Now back to today's great teaching with Dr. Don Wilton verse 48, as was the earthly man. So all those who are on the ex-roommate and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are all is about to lay it on the line and he's going to say to us. Listen rains I've told you that it is in Jesus Christ, that we live and move and have our being. If you want to know the nuances to these things with Tucci and infecting just in case we were glistening for the verse 49 and just as we have bearing the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we. The likeness of the man from heaven, one of the things we going to have to do these next two short weeks as we going to have to look at the likeness of the man. Remember, I suppose, is, is there any way that we can know what Jesus Christ looks like now that he's in heaven. I submit to you that we do and we want to know how we going to look we going to have to look to him because God says to us look to him and you know what you gonna look like conservatives.

In verse 50. I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery that we talking about the rapture of the church. We will not sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, the loss trumpet for the competent sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed for the perishable must clothe itself with the perishable in the galaxy. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable immortality, then it is saying written will come true. That has been swallowed up in victory of Israel's victory railroad.

Britain's roasting screen sin and the power of sin is.

Thanks be to God.
