And i think you are going to have other problems with the assumption that there is some other "place" to physically exist, or believing that Jesus might exist bodily in heaven iow.
So let's examine the problems you think are occurring. First "there is some other "place" to physically exist"
When Christ was resurrected he specifically told Mary not to touch him since he had not yet ascended to the father right?
So that means he is physical since he could be touched right? and the first thing he tells Mary is to go to the brethren and tell them that I am ascending to my father right? Well since his father exists in heaven then there is definitely another place to go.
So, a quick review:
1. Christ is physical
2. He is ascending to his Father (in heaven)(after speaking with Mary) and he tells Mary to give the brethren that exact message.
Thus, there is no problem Christ existed / exists in his resurrected body when he saw Mary and he was on his way to see his father who exists in heaven;
John 20
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and
to My God and your God.’”
Then after this, after he had met Mary on the road and ascended to the Father he comes back;
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.
And Christ shows everyone his hands and his side in the body he was resurrected in which he can now let people touch and handle because he has already ascended to the Father. Further he even returns a week later;
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” 28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
and again he let's Thomas stick his hand into his side and through the nail holes in his hands. Further in another place he showed himself to the disciples before he left the earth after 40 days;
36And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you.
37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them
his hands and
his feet.
41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43And he took
it, and did eat before them.
he corrected the troubling thoughts that arose in their minds in that they thought he might just be a spirit by telling them to touch his physical body. He further states plainly in Hebrew that a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you SEE ME HAVE and then to cap it all off he says give me something to eat. A spirit has no body to eat with.
