The Lord Jesus has two bodies - His own body, and "the church, which is His body":
The one "more marred than any man's"
The other "without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing"
These two bodies will be side by side through all eternity
The first body is the explanation of the second
The second is the outcome of the first

LOVE "ONE ANOTHER"
Its authority - "A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another" (John 13:34; 15:12, 17; 1 John 3:23; 2 John 6)
Its measure - "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 13:34; 15:12)
Its source - "Love is of God" (1 John 4:7)
Its witness to discipleship - "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another" (John 13:35)
Its characteristic - "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another [i.e., to love unloved]" (1 John 4:10, 11)

LINKS, "WITH CHRIST" - SEVEN GOLDEN

Raised together with Christ (Eph. 2:6)

Sufferers together with Christ (Rom. 8:17)
Heirs together with Christ (Rom. 8:17)
Glorified together with Christ (Rom. 8:17)
The first and second of these wondrous links, binding us indissolubly to Christ Jesus our Lord, belong to the past, for our crucifixion and quickening together with Him have already taken place, as the result of His finished work and accomplished sacrifice. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth form our present privilege; and the seventh points onward to our future portion.

LORD'S COMING, THE THREE "R'S" OF THE
Most of us are familiar with the three "R's" specially connected with the first Coming - to save man from ruin by redemption through His blood - giving him the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Here are the three "R's" in connection with our Lord's coming again:
1. The reality - Is it a "fable" or a Scriptural truth? In proof, note:
(a) The Savior's own declaration, "I will come again and receive you unto myself" (John 14:1); (b) The special angelic confirmation of the Savior's "I will" by "This same Jesus shall so come" (Acts 1:11); (c) The special apostolic revelation, "Received" direct from glory, "The Lord Himself shall descend" (1 Thess. 4:13-18)
2. The rapidity - Perhaps the most striking feature of the Coming is the brevity of the Rapture. This thought is enforced:
(a) By the threefold injunction of the last leaf of God's last message, Behold; Behold; surely I come quickly (Rev. 22:7, 12, 20); (b) By the Divine statement in the chapter of fundamentals, "We shall all be changed in a moment (1 Cor. 15:51). The devil offered Christ all the kingdoms "in a moment." God will give Him all the redeemed as quickly, "in a moment." Oh, what a moment that will be.; (c) By the familiar simile, "In the twinkling of an eye." You give your eye a twinkle. How rapid. Your "vile body" shall with equal rapidity be made like His "own glorious body."
3. The result - Naturally we think of ourselves first. But what shall be the result of the appearing to Himself?
(a) In the fullest sense, "he shall see of the travail of His soul, and He shall be satisfied" (Is. 53:11); (b) As to ourselves, Guilty, hell-deserving sinners, whom He justified in time, shall be manifestly glorified in eternity (Rom. 1:30); (c) The church of our Lord, today almost hidden because of man's doctrine's and creeds, shall be united. The prayer, "That they all may be one" (John 17:21) shall be manifested and eternally answered.
The central glory of it all: "I will come again and receive you unto Myself." "Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

LORD, FOUR GLORIOUS FACTS ABOUT OUR
He died - "Dead already" (Mark 15:44)
He rose - "Risen indeed" (Luke 24:34)
