Why Should I Get Excited About Resurrection Life?

Key Ideas: 

• Perishable... immortal (they won't wear out) 
• Dishonor... glorious (we will finally like how we look) 
• Weakness... powerful (we won't get tired) 
• Natural... spiritual (we'll finally get out from under our physical limitations) 

(See also Revelation 21:2,5; 2 Corinthians 5:1-5) 

2. It will be the trip of a lifetime. vs.50-55 

• Trouble free 
• Tear free 
• Time free 

3. You'll never want to leave. vs.56-57

So What Do I Have To Do?

2. Keep your ticket.
