Why do bodies matter so much? In God becoming man and living among us, he took on a body. He still had a body after the resurrection. In this passage to the Thessalonians, even a faithful church that has endured persecution needs to be reminded that bodies matter. Not just our own, but those of others. If we reduce ourselves to only spirit, we are missing the point that bodies are part of God’s redeeming work as well. If we reduce others to ONLY their bodies, then we are failing to love the whole person as God does.
