We Now Have Jesus' Health

For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]. Romans 6:5

Amen, we now live as Jesus lives. We now live by the complete control and power of our Father and the glorious thing is that we have been empowered with the Holy Spirit to know and accept this Truth. I want to talk a little here about Jesus’ flesh now. Our Father did not just raise Jesus’ Spirit up from Hades, He also raised His flesh up from the dead and we now share in that resurrection as well. Think about Jesus’ flesh, because He still has flesh. Jesus’ body was tortured to the point where you would not even recognize Him, Isaiah 52:14. Jesus’ flesh was pierced with nails and a sword and eleven days after all of this happened, a person could still place their fingers in His open wounds, John 20:26-27. Jesus did not have to bandage or treat His wounds after He was raised up from the dead. He did not regain all of the Blood that had drained out of Him, yet His flesh lived and walked and even ate, Luke 24:42-43. 

Our Father tells us that we are now one with the power of Jesus’ resurrection. What I am getting at is this: our bodies, which are our flesh, are now controlled and function through the power of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus’ body is controlled and functions by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the glory of what it means to be one with His resurrection. The benefits are for our spirits, our souls, and yes, even our bodies. 

So who cares what a doctor says? Jesus doesn’t need functioning organs to be alive and fellowship, why do we? Jesus still has flesh, but His flesh is no longer bound by the rules of this world. Jesus’ flesh is ruled by the laws of the Holy Spirit and the Laws of the Holy Spirit are limitless. We now walk and live in this life by the faith of our Lord, not by the dictates of our carnal flesh. This is why we now have life and peace that passes all understanding. This is what it means to have life and have it more abundantly.

So often we only talk about our spirits and the glory that they have been given in Christ. But Jesus came and allowed Himself to be sacrificed for our spirits, souls, and bodies.

  

And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 1 Thessalonians 5:23

This is just another glorious Truth of being as Jesus is, even while we are in this world.
