While the resurrection does not mean disembodiment, Christ reveals that it does involve a “spiritualization” of the body. The Psalmist said that man was created “a little lower than the angels” (Ps. 8:5). In the resurrection, God will raise man higher— “they will be like the angels.” The body will not be lost; it will be wholly unified with the spirit in a new way, even beyond what Adam and Eve experienced in the beginning.
