I was reading Second Corinthians 5 this morning and the words reminded me of the article Tim linked to recently, regarding art and nudity....Is it proper, even in this "high" cultural context, or not...And I am really not addressing that here...
But it is interesting that in verse 4 Paul says, "For while we are still in this tent we groan, being burdened - not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life...."
Of course, clothing serves the purpose in this life of protecting us from lust, but fascinating that in heaven - when sin, and the sin of lust, will no longer have any place in our hearts, we will still be covered - literally, I believe, in some kind of clothing. Just as Christ will always bear the wounds of his payment for sin, we will always wear clothing as a reminder of what our righteousness rests on...We are never, never going back to the Garden, but toward something so much greater - being "further clothed" in Christ's garments...

Interesting thoughts, Mom. I have never thought about the issue of clothing in heaven. Though by the time I die- hopefully in my 70's or 80's, I would hope they have long, drapey clothing for me!
I like those thoughts mom...keep your wisdom coming:) I'm kinda glad we won't be running around in the nude...even if we will be perfect:) Love you.
That sounds good to me mom! I like to be layered up as much as possible!!:)
