A five-year-old boy tried to get his grandmother to go down the slide at the local swimming pool, but the grandmother refused, saying, "If I go down the slide, I am so old I might just break up into pieces. This is an old body I am walking around in." To this, the grandson replied, "Why don't you get a new body?" "I would," responded the grandmother, "but I don't know where I can go to get a new one!" In the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul writes about a day when we will receive new bodies. "It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body" (1 Corinthians 15:44).
