Question:
I know God is pure spirit, and so does not occupy space. But what about the divine person of Jesus Christ? Where is his body?
Answer:
We do know that it is possible for someone to have a body in heaven because Elijah was taken up to heaven (2 Kgs. 2:11).
The resurrected body of Jesus is not a normal human body, it is a glorified body. Jesus was able to enter locked rooms (Jn. 20:19), disappear from sight (Lk. 24:31), appear in a “different form” (Mk. 16:12), and ascend into the sky (Acts 1:9). The glorified body of Jesus was not limited by the physics of our fallen world.
How exactly this all works is a bit of a mystery (1 Cor. 2:9) but we do know that God can bring about any possibility (Lk. 1:37).
