In Mere Christianity:
God never meant man to be a purely spiritual creature. That is why He uses material things like bread and wine to put the new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: He invented eating. He likes matter. He invented it.
This makes me think of Heaven by Randy Alcorn. Reading his book was one of the first times I really spent some significant time thinking about how heaven will be a physical place. (I have not finished that book by any means - it's on my shelf of books that I have started and have yet to finish)
Because of all that matter I have a full time job. Work for the Glory of God.
