“And as for what you sow — you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain.” 1 Corinthians 15:37 HCSB
What does a corn seed look like? Does it look like the corn stalk? Nope, it looks like a kernel of corn. I am no gardening expert, but I do not know of any seed that looks like the plant it will become. A maple seed does not look like a maple tree. A grass seed does not look like a blade of grass. They each have their own seed type and when God restores it to life they all become their own plant and produce their own seed again.
So When we are raised we will not have this same old body, but a new spiritual body. We each will have our own different bodies. We will not be raised into a clone army for God, but we each will be unique. We will be recognizable. Everyone who knew the physical Brian will recognize the new spiritual Brian. Those who knew Moses, Peter, and Abraham will recognize each of them whether by the revelation of God or by spiritual recognition.
“After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transformed in front of them, and His clothes became dazzling — extremely white as no launderer on earth could whiten them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” — because he did not know what he should say, since they were terrified.”

“Then God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” And it was so. The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”

“In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.”
Matthew 7:17-20 HCSB

The same seed we sow into the spiritual ground will grow up to be spiritual growth the spiritual ground will grow up to be spiritual growth. My ministry would never have been born if others did not sow into me. Other’s ministries will not grow if I don’t sow into them. But in the end, all people and ministries will be known for the fruit they produce. And a ministry will not expand if they are not sowing seed from the fruit they produce. This will continue until we get to heaven and finally, all seed will be harvested and the abundance will be given to God.
