This is the reason we are repeatedly admonished by the Scriptures to watch over our souls which will endure for all eternity, rather than paying undue attention to our physical bodies. Regardless of the damage and decay our earthly bodies suffer in the course of fulfilling our callings on earth and safeguarding our souls towards eternity, we will be clothed anew with glorious, heavenly bodies in due time.

Author and poet, Horatius Bonar, in comparing our physical bodies with our glorified bodies in death, wrote in the piece, Coming of the Perfect, Departure of the Imperfect: “Our flesh, from the cradle to the tomb, is feeble, broken, ready to faint--the cause and the inlet of a thousand sorrows! It is truly a frail body, in which we groan, being burdened; a vile body, needing such perpetual care, and food, and medicine, and rest--yet, after all, incapable of being preserved--which, in spite of all our pamperings, is hastening on to the sick-bed, and the separation from its guest, the soul. But look beyond the tomb and see the glory! This head shall ache no more! These hands and feet shall be weary no more! This flesh shall throb with anguish no more! God Himself shall wipe away all tears from these eyes--and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying!”

This calls us to wisdom as Christians. We must be wise in getting our priorities right. It is our souls that matter, not our bodies! Ebenezer Erskine, a Scottish minister also said, “Remember, that whatever care you take about this clay tabernacle, it will drop down to dust before long, and the abhorrent grave will be its habitation, where worms and corruption will prey upon the fairest face and purest complexion. Where will be your beauty, strength, and fine attire, when the curtains of the grave are drawn about you?”
