The Firstfruits of Resurrection
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 (KJV)
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”
Reflection
The resurrection of Christ is the believer’s assurance that death will not have the final word. Just as the firstfruits promised a coming harvest, Christ’s resurrection guarantees that all who belong to Him will be raised in glory. This truth anchors the Christian’s hope even in the face of suffering and mortality.
Personal Reflection
Do I live with the confidence that my future is secure in Christ?
Puritan Insight
Jonathan Edwards wrote:
“The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.”¹
Prayer
Risen Savior, strengthen my hope in Your resurrection. Help me live today in the light of the eternal life You have promised.
