0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.6 | Yesterday, Paul compared our bodies to jars of clay, and today he continues his third letter to the Corinthians by comparing them to tents, which are not very sturdy. |
0:21.8 | What they need is for someone to build an eternal mansion around them, our resurrection bodies, |
0:26.6 | because right now our tent bodies still suffer from the elements and from attackers. |
0:31.1 | God says that will happen someday. In fact, inside these tents lives the mansion maker, |
0:36.5 | the spirit, and he is preparing us for the mansion. |
0:39.8 | Remember how Jesus said he is going to prepare a place for us? God also says he's working to prepare |
0:44.8 | us for it. God is the one who does all the prep work, and part of that preparation is giving us |
0:50.3 | his spirit, his guarantee. In the midst of all Paul's trials, it's not death he's |
0:55.3 | wishing for, it's eternal life. He says he'll either be alive here or be alive with Christ. |

1:21.5 | their resurrection bodies, which is what will happen when Christ returns to Earth someday. They are |
1:26.2 | away from the body and at home with the |
1:28.2 | Lord, like Paul says in 5-8. That's where he is right now. His body is no longer a tent, but he won't |
1:34.3 | have his mansion body until after Christ returns to Earth. In the meantime, his spirit is with God |
1:39.9 | in heaven. It's worth noting that there are a few other viewpoints about all this that still |
1:43.9 | fall within the realm of orthodoxy, but this is what the prominent view looks like. |
1:48.4 | Paul says will all appear before the judge, who in this instance is actually Jesus himself. |
1:53.6 | The father has handed over the judgment to him. Some believe this judgment is to determine |
