Jesus bore the scars of his crucifixion on his post-resurrection body. Interestingly, although he bore those marks, he was still able to amble along the road to Emmaus the same day as his resurrection; a seven-mile walk just three days after his body was hung on the cross\u2026 (Luke 24:13-35).<\/p>\n
Is it possible that the evidence of disability is retained, but any associated negative consequence of disability and\/or pain is removed? Is that what Revelation 24:4 refers to when it talks about \u201cThere will be no more death, or mourning or crying or pain\u201d?<\/p>\n
Maybe Heaven itself will be a far more accessible and inclusive place too, a place free of the ableism of our current Earth? A few days later Thomas was able to put his hand into the wound in Jesus side, \u201cThen he said to Thomas, \u201cPut your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.\u201d See John 20:24-29, esp. v27.<\/p>\n
Again, this passage suggests that the evidence of disability remains in the resurrected body, but perhaps not any negative consequences or pain.<\/p>\n
