Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:37

Theological / Devotional

Bare grain. That is, a mere kernel without any leaf, blade, or covering. Such is the grain when it is sown. The plant that emerges is not the same as the seed that is sown. Thus the body that will come forth from the grave at the resurrection will not be the same that was placed in the grave. There will, of course, be similarities, but at the same time there will be differences. The new body is not composed of the same particles of matter that formed the old body. Nevertheless the personal identity of the individual is preserved (see EGW Supplementary Material on vs. 42-52).
