(1Co 15:20) “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” “Firstfruits” speaks of the tithe which is always God’s (Ex 23:19). Jesus is God and God’s. Glory! Our salvation which includes a physical resurrection is based upon the Lord God placing us “in Christ”: His death, our death; His life; our life. Therefore the saved are also the “firstfruits” of the resurrection!
