Where He Is

“To hang an innocent man on a cross produced the opposite outcome to what the human mind could ever imagine.”

The Shroud and the Burst of Light

When Jesus lay in the tomb, His body was dead — truly dead — but the Spirit of Glory was not.

Those who studied the Shroud describe something beyond human language: a burst of divine light, a release of power so pure and so intense that it didn’t simply illuminate the cloth — it passed through it, leaving behind the very evidence of resurrection.

The light did not come from outside Him. It came from within Jesus — the glory of God breaking through mortality.

This is why the image on the Shroud carries no paint, no pigment, no pressure. It bears the signature of radiance — as if the body itself became light.

This aligns perfectly with Scripture:

“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.”(1 Corinthians 15:44)

“This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”(1 Corinthians 15:53)

In other words:

Dead flesh could not hold Him. Mortality could not contain Him. Corruption could not touch Him.

The moment the glory ignited, the body transitioned:

corruptible → incorruptible

mortal → immortal

flesh → glorified.

This is the glorification Jesus spoke of — not only for Himself, but for all who follow Him into the new creation.

The Glorification of the Sons

The resurrection was not only a moment in history — it was a pattern.

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from within His dead flesh now dwells in those who belong to Him.The journey does not end with sanctification. Sanctification purifies. Glorification completes.

Jesus prayed:

“The glory You gave Me, I have given them.”(John 17:22)

Not a lesser glory. Not a symbolic glory. The same glory.

The inner life begins to shift.The spirit becomes stronger than the flesh. The mortal body begins to respond to the life within it.

Paul wrote:

“If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He will give life to your mortal body.”(Romans 8:11)

Life from within — not borrowed, not external — but rising from the place God now dwells.

This is the beginning of glorification:

• the inner life becomes whole

• the years of sanctification settle into completion

• the Spirit fills every place that once belonged to the fallen nature

• the flesh no longer leads

• the soul no longer argues

• the spirit begins to shine

This is why Paul spoke of a body that would be:

“sown in weakness, raised in power”

“sown in dishonor, raised in glory.”(1 Corinthians 15:43)

Glorification is not escape. It is unveiling.The sons are revealed, not hidden.

Creation has been waiting for this moment:

“The creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.”(Romans 8:19)

The sanctification of the past years has completed its work. The inner life is whole. The spirit breathes without resistance.

Now comes the rising — the same rising that took place in the tomb: light from within life overwhelming mortality, glory breaking through what once held you.

This is the path Jesus opened. This is the moment He said would follow.

“Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, and to see My glory…” John 17:24
