Suprised by Hope Week 2…Glorious Bodies
Philippians 3:17-21
17Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. 18For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. 20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Well, here is week 2.. So what was the general consensus of your gathering.. or what about you lone internet reader, what do you think about this passage?
This passage says different things to me at different times. I interpret it as saying that we need to take care of ourselves, yet, not let our own needs overpower the fact that we are really God’s.
