“Nutrition Facts”

Friday, April 12, 2013

Jesus, in His resurrected/glorified body, ate food (Lk 24:41-43).  This seems odd that He would hunger.  Will our bodies, after the resurrection, need nourishment?

Sincerely,

Dear Where’s The Beef,

Jesus’ resurrected body was a normal human body.  He even told the disciples that His body was the same flesh that went into the grave; He told them He was not a spirit or an angel (Lk 24:36-40).  Jesus arose from the grave with a physical human body and proved it through multiple appearances over the course of forty days (Acts 1:3).  The body Jesus appeared in after His resurrection was still made of flesh and bones and even bore the nail marks from His crucifixion (Jhn 20:24-27)… that is why He needed to eat.
