1 Corinthians 15:20 (NIV).
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep....... Thoughts on This Verse...
''Why do you seek the living among the dead?''
These words of the angel to the women who came to Jesus' tomb are also God's words to us. Jesus is risen! Not only that, he is the firstfruits from the dead. He is the guarantee that God's harvest will happen; he is our assurance that we, too, will be raised.
Death no longer has a hold on us! We are God's eternal children and death cannot separate us from his presence or his love!
