Do you ever wonder about the Millennium and what you will be doing during the 1,000-year reign of Christ? I do. In fact, most do from time-to-time. But, along with wondering come the questions: What will we look like? What will we think? What power will we be given to serve the King of Kings?
Even though the Apostle Paul wrote we are new creations in Christ, we struggle to know what that means (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are yet unglorified, undone, imperfect, and hidden away in Christ until the day God reveals us as His glorified children (Colossians 3:1-4). Though the Bible says we'll take on the form of Christ, it also hints at some possible assignments.
Maybe the best way to begin this topic is by simply saying we've been invited on an incredible journey, a holy quest from the present to the future. For the believer, the journey has already begun (2 Peter 1:23). It will be a long journey, one with no end. It will exceed our best imagination and our most earnest hope.
For this journey the believer will be glorified, changed from mortality into immortality. Glorification is not a fabrication of the mind or a made-up fairy tale. Glorification of the believer is God's idea (Romans 8:18). At some point God will transform our lowly earthen forms into the likeness of Jesus' glorious form.
The Bible says we'll be like Jesus (Luke 24:36-39). Does this mean we will have his power to appear and disappear at will? Does this mean there will be no door too thick to pass through and no wall too high to go over? Does this mean there will be no distance too far and no place too remote? Will our glorified bodies exist and perform beyond all physical limitations known in the natural?
Much of what we know about our present life is fixed in place, littered in daily routine, and punctuated with endless trials. In our present form we cannot be about the Father's business every minute of the day. But, at the last trump, Paul says everything changes (1 Corinthians 15:52-53). From that moment on the believer's life becomes undivided devotion and allegiance to the Son. The divine business of the King of kings will become our business and His purpose our eternal resolve.
