What happens to Christians when we die? Some would confidently answer, “That’s easy, we go to heaven!” And while that answer rolls off the tongue of so many Christians, is that what we can look forward to when we die? Paul lays out a pathway that follows the same one that our Saviour Jesus also took. A bodily existence here on earth. Followed upon death of a disembodied temporary state where we will enjoy the presence of God. But that is not our final state! There will be a final resurrection for believers. At that point we will receive a new resurrected body that is suitable for the new creation. We have such a beautiful future in store for us. No wonder Paul tells us we should rejoice at the prospect of this incredible future with God and his people!
