LORD’S DAY 22
57. What comfort does the “resurrection of the body” afford you?
That not only my soul after this life shall be immediately taken up to Christ its Head;1Luke 23:43; Philippians 1:21-23 but also, that this my body, raised by the power of Christ, shall be reunited with my soul, and made like the glorious body of Christ.21 Corinthians 15:53-54; Job 19:25-27; 1 John 3:2
58. What comfort do you receive from the article of “life everlasting”?
That, inasmuch as I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy,32 Corinthians 5:2-3 I shall after this life possess complete blessedness, such as “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart of man,”41 Corinthians 2:9 therein to praise God forever.5John 17:3; Romans 8:23; 1 Peter 1:8
