Philippians 3:20-21

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

(v20, NIV)

Do not walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their mind is set on earthly things. However, followers of the Lord Jesus Christ do not have their mind set on earthly things. We have our citizenship in heaven. We are merely foreigners while we walk this earth. We wait for the time when we will finally get to go home, to heaven. Jesus will return and usher us to heaven to where our citizenship lies.

who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

(v21, NIV)

Jesus will speak to every issue. He is our Lord whom we follow and is most certainly powerful. He can bring everything under his control. With this power, he will use it towards us. Our bodies will be transformed like his glorious body. Jesus' body was different after he rose from the dead. He was able to pass through walls, and yet the disciples were also able to touch his wounds where he was pierced. Our current bodies are referred to as lowly bodies. The bodies we will receive will be much better than our current bodies.
