He was Scarred for All Eternity, while I walk without Scars!John 20:27 Philippians 3:20-21





For All Eternity He Chose to bear the Marks of My Redemption In His Glorified Body!

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” John 20:27

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, 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. Philippians 3:20-21

I am broken with tears welling in my eyes! He will transform my lowly body to be like His glorious body—yet there is one difference, Jesus’ glorified body bears the marks of my redemption in His shed blood, His nail scarred hand and feet, His pierced side; just think, for all eternity I will be in the light of His joy in perfection and Holiness, and Christ for All eternity will have in His body the marks of my salvation. God the Son will have a scarred glorified body, but it will be scarred on my behalf for my Salvation, His hands, His feet and His pierced side—I cannot comprehend such unselfish love. I am undeserving of being transformed into the likeness of His glorified body, humbled and broken for all eternity that Christ should choose to have His glorified body scarred for all eternity--Incomprehensible! Humbling! Undeserving! Yet the Eternal Son of God in His Great Love for me, Chose to have His Glorified body Scarred for all Eternity, while I walk without Scars!
