You see, this Blessed One’s seemingly imperfect body made it possible for us to have a perfect one. Is it any wonder then that the heavenly choir sings, “Worthy is the Lamb”? Apart from God’s glory, everything He ever did, and does, was and is, for our benefit, and ours alone. I like how Paul puts it: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Hallelujah, what a wonderful Saviour!

Imperfection's Perfection
Immediately
after the resurrection Thomas saw the open wounds in our Lord’s body. John was
transported to the present and described Him now in heaven as a freshly slain
Lamb. And Zechariah tells us at His Second Coming, yet future, He will be
asked, “What are these wounds in thy hands?” At the cost of being
misunderstood as sacrilegious, I believe Jesus will be the only one in heaven
with an imperfect body. That is, from our viewpoint, not God’s. For in God’s
sight, those wounds are the epitome of perfection.
