Q. 57.
What comfort does the “resurrection of the body” afford thee?
A.

Christ its head; (a)
but also, that this my body, being raised by the power of Christ, shall be
reunited with my soul, and made like unto the glorious body of Christ. (b)
(a) Luke 16:22; Luke 23:43; Philip.1:21,23. (b) 1 Cor.15:53,54; Job

Q. 58.
What comfort takest thou from the article of “life everlasting”?
A.
That
since I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy, (a)
after this life, I shall inherit perfect salvation, which “eye has not seen,
nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man” to conceive, and
that to praise God therein for ever. (b)
(a) 2 Cor.5:2,3. (b) 1 Cor.2:9; John 17:3.
