The Glorified Man

By William Covert

WHEN man was made, he was all glorious and perfect. No sin had cast a shadow on his form, nor had sorrow marred his countenance. He was perfect in beauty, and that perfection made him glad. But sin came, and with it sadness. Then death wrapped man up in the dark grave, and he was out of sight.

But the resurrection is coming soon, and then perfection will be regained. In the resurrection state, the infant will be developed, and the dwarf will reach normal size. Then the blind will see, and the lame will walk. The weak will be made strong. The deaf will hear, and the dumb will talk, and shout, and sing. No crutches will be needed, for he who once was lame will be supple as the bounding deer. Then no nerve can suffer, nor heart can ache. No worry will follow us into the land of life. Our resurrected and glorified bodies will be incorruptible. The redeemed will be as angels are, and can then pass to other worlds with speed like the electric flash.

What a manhood and womanhood the immortal state will behold! We want it. We must have it. In Christ we can not miss it.
