1 Corinthians 15:37, Thou Sowest

1 Corinthians 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

The question that was asked earlier in verse 35, “And with what body do they come?”, is answered here.

A plant begins its existence in the form of a little seed that is sown on the ground. And from it, a plant shoots up as the seed germinates. When there is no seed, there will be no plant. A natural state in God’s created world. The plant derives its features from the seed.

Indeed, the resurrection body has identity of kind and continuity of substance with that which is sown, but it is purified from corruption, dishonour, and weakness, and made incorrupt, glorious, powerful, and spiritual. It is the same body, but it is sown in one form and raised in another. [William MacDonald]

Praise God for the resurrection of the last day! Amen.
