On resurrection

Hi Br H**,

I understand resurrection in Bible almost always meant get life again on the earth as a physical being. Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego were so and some people in early Christian congregation were so.

However in the case of Jesus. He was resurrected in a physical being once, but he ascended to heaven soon after he appeared in front of his acquaintances.

I'm afraid this is not exactly a resurrection on the earth. This description suggests he lived after his death in heaven. This allows the interpretation there's a kingdom of heaven after our death.

How do you think of the meaning of his resurrection.

Best wishes,

Mer
