Victorious Resurrection

Book Cover & Preview Text
Paul said, “But now Christ is risen! That changes everything. Let your doubts flee! Christ is the first fruits of the resurrection.”
(I Corinthians 15:20). What does that image mean? The first fruits proclaim that with the first ears of corn and the first apples, the harvest has begun. On Easter Sunday, Christ was the first fruits.
Christ's resurrection is God's assurance to us that we all shall be raised one day as part of the future harvest…at the resurrection the body will be awakened and glorified.” What kind of body will we have in the resurrection? Paul uses the analogy of “the seed” to give us a clue to the difference of the present-day bodies and our resurrection body. Just as a seed is sown and sprouts new life, so too our earthly body will blossom into a new and glorious body in the resurrection.
