“When on the earth, he was not a divine god-man. Hewas wholly human, though perfect, as Adam originallywas. Since Jesus' resurrection, he has been anexalted immortal spirit ever subordinate to God” (TheWatchtower, Jan 15, 1992, p. 23).4. Jesus has no physical resurrection body, only a spiritbody; He only appeared to have a body.“He was the first to be raised as a spirit person” (YouCan Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, 1982, p. 172).“Our Lord's human body was, however, supernaturallyremoved from the tomb; because had it remainedthere it would have been an insurmountable obstacleto the faith of the disciples, who were not yetinstructed in spiritual things — for ‘the spirit was notyet given.’ (John 7:39) We know nothing about whatbecame of it, except that it did not decay or corrupt.(Acts 2:27, 31) Whether it was dissolved into gassesor whether it is still preserved somewhere as thegrand memorial of God’s love, of Christ's obedience,and of our redemption, no one knows; — nor is suchknowledge necessary” (The Time Is at Hand, 1889,1915 ed., p. 129).“The bodies in which Jesus manifested himself to hisdisciples after his return to life were not the body inwhich he was nailed to the tree. They were merelymaterialized for the occasion, resembling on one ortwo occasions the body in which he died, but on themajority of occasions being unrecognizable by hismost intimate disciples” (The Kingdom Is at Hand,1944, p. 259).24
