In the parable in Matthew 13, 43, the righteous will shine like the sun
in the kingdom of their Father. Remember seeing Jesus in Revelation 1?
Hair white like snow, girded, brass belt, truth, just pillars for legs,
and his face, it says, we're shining like the sun, and John was on his
face. So will you.

We would not be able to look at each other in the resurrection unless
God had given us new spiritual resurrection eyes. We will be so bright.
No more wheelchairs, no more depression, no more fallen countenances, no
more discouragement, no more disease, no more alienation, everything
new, and your face shining like the sun.

So that C.S. Lewis said, we would be tempted to bow down and worship
each other if God hadn't given us an eyes and a heart to know better.
