A fifth end of Christs coming, is, that his righteous ones might shine as the Sun in the glory, or Kingdom of their Father, Mat. 13. 43. there are many things that do hinder the People of God from shining forth as the Sun now. As first, they have a body of death which makes them fetch many a groan in their journey to Canaan, Rom. 7. 24. 2 Cor. 5. 2. They meet with many a sad temptation, which also makes them in heaviness many a time, 1 Pet, 1. 6. They have also many other things that do hinder their shining now; but then the body of death shall be left off. My meaning is, that sin shall be no more in the natures of Gods people then: Their bodies that are now so vile, shall then be made like unto the glorious body of the son of God, who shall change our vile body, ⟨p. 161⟩that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is, able to subdue all things unto himself, Phil. 3. ver. 21.
