15:39
Paul then points out the great variety in the types of flesh. People, birds, animals and fish are all very different. So why is Paul saying this? It demonstrates the great variety of things that God has created. Saying “God cannot do ...” is a ridiculous thing to say.
15:40,41
Paul then points to the cosmos. There are many great things on earth, but there are also many great things in the heavens. The sun, the moon and the stars all have their own splendour. Sometimes people say that because we are just one planet out of billions why would God care about us. But all these sorts of thoughts demonstrate (when they are said in a sceptical way, rather than in an awe-struck way) is the paucity of our thinking. If God is God then saying a resurrection is impossible is a ridiculous thing to say. Of course, He is capable of raising the dead.
