earthless -> RE: Eating in Heaven (3/17/2008 1:59:47 PM)

The Moody Church and Moody Bible Institute are highly respected around the nation and the world for their sound doctrine.. here is an excerpt from a magazine article they did on the topic of Heaven:
quote:
WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM
At the final resurrection, we will have an eternal body like that of Christ. "We know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). The continuity between Christ’s earthly and heavenly body was clear to see; for example, the nail prints were in His hands. The disciples recognized Him instantly, and He even ate fish with them (Luke 24: 36-43). But there were also radical changes. He was able to travel from one place to another without physical effort and went through doors without opening them.
Evidently we too shall be able to travel effortlessly. Just as Christ could be in Galilee and then suddenly appear in Judea, so we shall be free from the limitations of terrestrial travel. That does not mean, of course, that we will be omnipresent as God is; we will be limited to one place at one time. But travel will be swift and effortless.
To the delight of many people, we shall still eat — not because we are hungry, but because we will delight in the fellowship it affords. After His resurrection, Christ ate fish with His disciples in Jerusalem and prepared a meal for them on the shores of Galilee (John 21:9-13). Of course believers will be present at the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:7). Read Revelation 21 and 22 to capture a glimpse of the New Jerusalem.
