“What is sown is a natural body, and what is raised is a spiritual body.” 1 Corinthians 15:43

St. Paul compares the resurrection of the dead to the springing up of vegetation in a field. The natural body is the seed that is sown in the field. The fruit that comes out of it is completely different in nature, and in this case, the fruit is the spiritual body. As all of us have natural bodies, we will have spiritual bodies too. Knowing this fact, let us try our best to preserve our bodies in holiness, knowing that we carry within us great and mysterious promises of a life soon to come!
