2 Corinthians 5:1-2 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

Our present body is weak and vulnerable, susceptible to harm and pain. One family member remarked of his elderly father that he has an abrasion on the skin by a slight brush with the bed frame that is not healing well. The skin peels easily in the weakness of the body that comes with passing time. But he is trusting in Jesus Christ daily awaiting his transformation when our Lord will re-make for each one of His children a new body.
