As He expresses His Life in us, we learn to let go of our own self-sufficiency and our own fleshly wants and ambitions....and as He expresses His life through us, we learn to become willing and gracious participants in His divine work.
I was thinking about that myself.........Although Christians have never universally condemned cremation, burial has long been their accepted practice -- as it has been for Jews. The Jews neither burned nor embalmed the bodies of their dead. In their practice, bodies were washed ( Acts 9:37 ), anointed with aromatic spices ( 2 Chronicles 16:14 ; Mark 16:1 ), wrapped ( Mark 15:26 ; John 11:44 ), and entombed within a period of 24 hours ( Genesis 23:4 ; Deuteronomy 21:23 ; Matthew 27:57-60 ; John 11:17,39 ).Btw anyone have thoughts on "Cremation"?
1Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. 4So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." 6So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
Does Isaiah 65:17 imply that people in heaven will have no recollection of earthly events?
When the resurrected Christ in His glorified body appeared to Thomas, Jesus still bore the marks of the Roman nails and spear (John 20:24-29). If in heaven we were unable to remember our lives here—including our sins—we would neither have a clear understanding of who we had been, nor an awareness of the worth of our redemption.
That is great stuff!
