However, will we be PERFECT? Without spot and blemish? I tend to think yes... because I don't think that Adam and Eve had (nor knew) any corruption in the Garden. Yet as of now, Jesus is the only person to have an imperishable body, for He has already been resurrected post-death. He is the only person who will never experience death (except of course for those who have already passed and perhaps Enoch and Elijah?). Jesus is the only one who has experienced the resurrection, He is the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep (1Co 15:20).
It's curious, that Jesus has experienced RESURRECTION, yet He has scars (Jn 20:27). Perhaps He is the only person who will have scars once we are in the perfect, eternal state. His scars will be the everlasting parchment which tells the story of God's love toward us, and the redemption which took place as a result of that love.
