What about the blood?

So, what will Jesus look like in heaven? Will He have human-like form? Is there something in the Bible that tells us?
A man. God became Man, so Jesus is still both God and a Man today. He will look like a Man, just as He did to His disciples after the Resurrection. He ascended into Heaven as a Man.Act 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:1Cr 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.1Cr 15:35-44 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds. [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

You may need to explain to me how those verses mean Jesus will have the appearence of a man in heaven... that's not to contest it... it's only to say it needs explaination.I do think compelling arguement, however, could be made from the book of Daniel. A person appearing "as the Son of God" appeared to them as a 4th person (obviously a man) in the furnace with them -- Daniel 3:25.This was before he came in the flesh, of course, as Jesus.

i will give it a shot.Act 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:[/SIZE]He is seen ALIVE (a man) after He died. He leaves (still a man) after forty days returning to His Father (Heaven). Where does scripture say He changed and is no longer a Man before He ascended into Heaven? Scripture indicates wondrous changes to a glorified body, Jesus exhibts abilites with a HUMAN body that we do not currently have. But there is nothing in scripture indicating those changes mean He is no longer a Man or that when He ascended He ceased being human.1Cr 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.[/SIZE]Note that no where in this verse does Paul indicating the dead BECOMING something else besides being RISEN, alive, and therefore HUMAN. A risen human is a miracle but it is still a human life.1Cr 15:35-44 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.[There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.[/SIZE] The body we have corrupts as we age. When we die it corrupts completely (eventually). The new bodies (like Jesus) of the risen follower of The Way are raised incorruptible, there is no longer a decaying body, but a risen glorified one. Again no where in does Paul indicate in these verses that this body is no longer human.
