Feast of First Fruits: The Resurrection

Feast of First Fruits: The Resurrection

By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

FIRST FRUITS

Lev 23:10-14, Ex 23:19; 34:26

In the midst of the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread is the Feast of First Fruits.  Jesus died on Passover; He arose again on the Feast of First Fruits.  Jesus is the fulfillment of this feast as well. 

“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep…so also in Christ shall all be made alive." 1 Cor 15:20-22b.

Jesus’ resurrection confirms our blood covenant with God the Father and assures our resurrection as well.  Praise the Lord.  Because He lives, I, too, shall live.
