Paul wrote to the Thessalonians that we are not appointed unto wrath. D r . T albot : I t is exciting to consid er what the resurrection body of the believer will be like. I’m personally glad that there’s going to be a great change. Our bodies will be likened unto Christ’s glorified body. When His disciples first saw Him, they thought Christ was a spirit.
