A few months ago, Shelley’s Android phone developed an issue which fortunately was still under warranty. So we took it back to the phone store where we got it, and after verifying its feebleness, the kind staff ordered her a new one. When it arrived at the store, the staff made sure to transfer all her data to the new unit. The photo above shows the moment when the transfer was complete. The old phone had become obsolete, and the new one works great.
The Bible gives us tantalizing hints about what will happen to our minds and bodies at the Second Coming of Jesus. Paul says:
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. ( 1 Corinthians 13:11 -12)
John quotes Jesus as telling His disciples about the renewal caused by the presence of the Holy Spirit:
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. (John 16:12 – 14)
