Having a positive body image – Jesus took his body back into heaven.
Acts 1:9 “…. he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee”, they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Jesus ascended back into heaven in his human body, though it was his resurrection body with some different qualities. And we have the promise that Jesus will return in the same way, physically and visibly, coming in the clouds. The dead in Christ will rise first, and those who are alive at the time of Jesus’ coming will rise – we will be caught up together in the clouds to meet him in the air. Check it out in 1 Thessalonians 4:16.
So, we should not despise our physical bodies, but we should take care of them. Are we getting enough exercise and rest, and eating properly? Let’s make the best of what we have!
