Appear With Him
In Glory

 
“… then you also will appear with Him in glory.”
Colossians 3:4
 
 
“We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
Even now, here on earth, we’re growing in degrees of glory. And then, one day we’ll close our eyes for the last time on earth, and the next time we open them, we’ll barely recognize ourselves:
“Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.” 1 John 3:2
When glory finally comes, it will not merely be a wonder to see, but a wonder to be.
 
What will happen when Christ returns?
“The dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.” 1 Corinthians 15:52–53
Or, as he says a few verses earlier:
“What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.” 1 Corinthians 15:42–43
We’re destined to live on a real earth like ours, with real bodies like ours, surrounded by blessings and experiences like ours, but without the weakness, mortality, and sin that plague all we know and enjoy now. That world will be like ours, but glorious. We will be ourselves, but glorious.
 
One of the most staggering and scandalous claims of Christianity is that God not only loves shameful, undeserving sinners, but shares His glory with them. He not only allows them to live in His presence, but He makes them like His Son.
