Did Jesus have a real human body when he ascended into heaven?

What happened to Jesus’ body when he died?

When Jesus died, His physical body stopped functioning just as our body will some day. But He came back to life on Sunday (Matthew 28:1-10). When Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb that morning, His body was no longer in the tomb (John 20:2). In a few minutes she discovered that His new body was different. It had been transformed.

How did Jesus return to the Kingdom of Heaven?

Jesus told His disciples that He would eat with them in the kingdom (Luke 22:15-16). Third, Jesus’ body was able to go through walls, and He could simply vanish. Now our bodies cannot do that. Finally, Jesus returned to heaven both in spirit and with His new, immortal body.

Will we have new bodies when we return to Heaven?

Finally, Jesus returned to heaven both in spirit and with His new, immortal body. Every man and woman will have a new body some day in the future. Some day God will give us transformed bodies. These new bodies will join our spirits. The apostle Paul tells us this in the following passage.
