Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:38

Theological / Devotional

God giveth it a body. The ever-recurring miracle of nature by which all the many kinds of grain are reproduced, has its source in God, the Author of all life and growth. There is nothing in the kernel itself that, unaided, causes it to spring into life (see 8T 259, 260). Likewise there is nothing in the disintegrating body of the dead that, of itself, leads to the resurrection. But God has arranged that there should be a resurrection, and it is by His power alone that the miracle takes place. In the resurrection each one will have a body that is appropriate for him. The righteous will have glorified bodies, and the wicked will rise with bodies bearing the marks of their lost state (see GC 644, 645, 662).
