In this
present body we do indeed groan; we yearn to have our
heavenly habitation put on over this one — in the hope that, being thus clothed, we shall not find ourselves naked.»
There are places where he resorts to the imagery of myth and speaks of Christ as if he were living an unseen life with God in a
heavenly realm above, from which he would descend to appear on the earth at the imminent end - time.38 At other times Paul could speak of the church as the
body of Christ, of which the Christian believers formed «the limbs and organs».39 He exhorted the Galatians to «put on Christ as a garment», 40 he said to the Romans, «Let Christ Jesus himself be the armor that you wear», 41 and he told the Galatians how he was in travail until they «took the shape of Christ».42 In various ways Paul spoke of the risen Christ as an indwelling presence in the believer, the most moving passage being his own testimony, I have been crucified with Christ; the life I now live is not my life, but the life which Christ lives in me; and my
present bodily life is lived by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.»
While Paul's thought is by no means always clear, and perhaps from letter to letter not always exactly the same, it is nevertheless certain that his concept of resurrection can be clearly distinguished from that of the traditional «bodily resurrection».27 Paul does not speak in terms of the «same
body» but rather in terms of a new
body, whether it be a «spiritual
body», 28 «the likeness of the
heavenly man», 29 «a house not made by human hands, eternal and in heaven», 30 or, a «new
body put on» over the old.31 In using various figures of speech to distinguish between the
present body of flesh and blood and the future resurrection
body, he seems to be thinking of both
bodies as the externals which clothe the spirit and without which we should «find ourselves naked».32 But he freely confesses that the «earthly frame that houses us today ’33 may, like the seed, and man of dust, be destroyed, but the «
heavenly habitation», which the believer longs to put on, is already waiting in the
heavenly realm, for it is eternal by nature.
(2) Of course it is true that for St Thomas the
body of Jesus made
present under each species at the consecration is the glorified
heavenly body of Jesus, and that this
heavenly body bears the scars of the Passion.
