Flesh And Bones - Luke 24:37-43

Luke 24:37-43 ESV
But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them.

When Jesus left the tomb, the tomb was empty. He rose from the grave, His old body transformed into an incorruptible body. He said He was flesh and bones.

When He returns, we will see Him as He is and we will be like Him.

Does that mean when He ascended into the clouds He rose in the form of the new body? Is He still that way? Is that what is meant when it says we are seated with Him on His throne?
