Holding forth the Word of Life
— Philippians 2:16a (KJV)

Lord’s Day 22

Q57: What comfort does the resurrection of the body offer you?

Not only shall my soul

after this life immediately be taken up to Christ, my Head,1

but also this my flesh,

raised by the power of Christ, shall be reunited with my soul and made like Christ’s glorious body.2

Q58: What comfort do you receive from the article about the life everlasting?

Since I now already

feel in my heart

the beginning of eternal joy,1

I shall after this life

possess perfect blessedness,

such as no eye has seen,

nor ear heard,

nor the heart of man conceived—

a blessedness in which to praise God forever.2
