1 Corinthians 15:42 - The Message

This image of planting a dead seed and raising a live plant is a mere sketch at best, but perhaps it will help in approaching the mystery of the resurrection body—but only if you keep in mind that when we’re raised, we’re raised for good, alive forever! The corpse that’s planted is no beauty, but when it’s raised, it’s glorious. Put in the ground weak, it comes up powerful. The seed sown is natural; the seed grown is supernatural—same seed, same body, but what a difference from when it goes down in physical mortality to when it is raised up in spiritual immortality!

We need to have an understanding that what we have now is temporary, weak, and failing, but it will be replaced forever by something much more glorious. This is our destiny with Christ. We will have victory (vss 54-57).
