April 13 
This Body Fashioned Anew 

"Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His
Glorious Body" (Philippians 3:21). 

Often when we are racked with pain and unable to think or worship, we feel that
this indeed is "the body of our humiliation," and when we are tempted by the
passions which rise from the flesh we do not think the word vile at all too
vigorous a translation. Our bodies humble us; and that is about the best thing
they do for us. Oh, that we were duly lowly, because our bodies ally us with
animals and even link us with the dust! 

But our Savior, the LORD Jesus, shall change all this. We shall be fashioned
like His own body of glory. This will take place in all who believe in Jesus.
By faith their souls have been transformed, and their bodies will undergo such
a renewal as shall fit them for their regenerated spirits. How soon this grand
transformation will happen we cannot tell; but the thought of it should help us
to bear the trials of today and all the woes of the flesh. In a little while we
shall be as Jesus now is. No more aching brows, no more swollen limbs, no more
dim eyes, no more fainting hearts. The old man shall be no more a bundle of
infirmities, nor the sick man a mass of agony. "Like unto his glorious body."
What an expression! Even our flesh shall rest in hope of such a resurrection!

779 7.6.8. J. HART 
Cleaving to Christ, by Faith. Heb. 11. 33-40; 12. 1 




1 Faith, implanted from above, 
Will prove a fertile root, 
Whence will spring a tree of love,  Producing precious fruit. 
Though bleak winds the boughs deface,  The rooted stock shall still remain; 
Leaves may languish, fruit decrease,  But more shall grow again. 

2 Happy souls! who cleave to Christ  By pure and living faith, 
Finding him their King and Priest,  Their God and guide till death. 
God’s own foe may plague his sons;  Sin may distress, but not subdue; 
Christ, who conquered for us once,  Will in us conquer too.
