The Kitchen Table Devotional
2 Corinthians 5 Day 2
For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.
2 Corinthians 5:4-5
We have the very real hope of an eternal body/building from God to enjoy for eternity. Jesus had a new body for us to see and know that we too will have a new body. If a spirit needs a body to express itself, imagine having to spend eternity without the ability to express your thoughts, wants, and emotions. God has prepared us for this eternity and has given us His Spirit to bring heaven and eternity into our lives now so that we will always be ready for then. Maybe the deep fear is our spirit, concerning death, is the thought, in our spirit, of spending eternity without a body to love, praise, and live with God. Let God prepare you now for then.
