Heavenly bodies!

As I write, the new year is growing older and the diet I promised to endure on 1st January is no closer to reality.

Too many tray bakes in the church office, and too much snacking at late night elders’ meetings. The answer to some peoples’ stress is going to the gym. The answer to mine is chocolate, and I feel my Sunday jacket tightening.

Praise the Lord that we will be given new bodies when Christ returns! That is not an excuse for lacking bodily discipline here and now, but it is a wonderful prospect. Paul says to the Romans: ‘He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.’ (Rom. 8:11)
