Best Answer

Because according to Christian teaching, Jesus was not only a God, equal to the Father, but he was a man. If he had no body, he could not be a man. The teachings say that Jesus came down from heaven and was a man in totality, suffering as a man would, feeling everything a man would, so he would understand what it is to be human. Which makes his sacrifice on the cross all the more important and tragic. Hebrews 2:17, 18 - Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Did Jesus rise from the dead and if so was his resurrection of the body or strictly of the soul?

Those who believe in Christianity believe that Jesus rose, body and soul, from the dead. That he was a living body still was proved for them when the apostle Thomas touched the wounds on Jesus's body and put his hand into the hole in his side.


What is Jesus's shroud?

Jesus' shroud is the mythical cloth that covered the dead body of Jesus, but there is no record of this in the Bible. Rather, this scripture illustrates the manner of Jesus' burial. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. (John 19.40)


Why does the Bible call the Church the Body of Christ but not the Body of Jesus?

As Jesus was a very common name and in the bible it refers to several people named 'Jesus'. Also, Christ is is the son of God so the church is the body of God if you break it down.
