Re: Jesus is alive

Yes, he was biologically alive after the resurrection but only until the ascension. It doesn't make much sense to me that he would still be eating and sleeping today.
First off let me say that I view any idea of this as strictly an individuals best subjective guess. The Biblical message is that Jesus is the first born or the prototype of what is in store for mankind at the end of time, when all things are renewed, when heaven and earth become one, when Christ comes again or however you want to put it.
It seems to me though that we don't really have much of an idea how that will work out. If we look at the Jews at the time of Jesus they had all sorts of ideas of what it would look like when Yahweh returned and none of them had it right. I suggest that we are no different.
As an aside, one thing that I think is of interest is that it seems God has chosen to work through humans. When He came to the Jews He did it through the man Jesus. I believe that somehow mankind will be involved in all of this, and that acts of compassion, mercy, justice and love will somehow play into all that happens.
So I think that Jesus remains physical, but how His new physicality in His dimension, universe or whatever relates to our own is strictly speculation. This of course includes sleeping and eating.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
