What’s in that coffin is the body that was fearfully and wonderfully made when our Father wove me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13-14) What’s in that coffin is the body that Jesus baptized into His own body to make me part of Him. What’s in that coffin is the body that ate the saving body of Jesus, and drank His forgiving blood in the Supper, that I might consume the medicine of immortality. And what’s in that coffin is the body that, when the last trumpet shall sound, will burst from my grave as a body glorified and ready to be reunited with my soul. My body is God’s creation, an essential part of my identity as a human being. It is not a shell. It is God’s gift to me. And one day I’ll get it back, alive, restored, perfected to be like the resurrected body of Jesus. ~ Chad L. Bird on that body you see in a coffin. In this case, written as though it was his own.
