Let this except from John Piper’s 2005 Easter sermon warm your soul:

Christ came. He obeyed. He bore the wrath. He bore the curse. He bore our judgment. He bore our guilt. He bore our sin. He died. He rose again. And now he reigns and we have this description of its implication in verses 20 and 21 of chapter three [of Philippians].

Our citizenship is in heaven and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And now we know how he got to heaven. He got there because God raised him from the dead. And now he is a God man in heaven. He is not just an ethereal spirit, he is a man, a God man in heaven who will transform our lowly body, our cancer ridden body, our addicted body, our depressed body into a body like his glorious body and how we know he got that body, because of the assumption. He got that body because he obeyed the Father and he came and he took human flesh on. He never laid it down.

Never, never, never does he cease to be the man Jesus Christ. He will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body by the power that enables him to subject all things to himself.
