sundown on the fourteenth day of the
first month. The next day, the fifteenth
day of the month, you must begin

people of Israel. When you enter the
land I am giving you and you harvest its
first crops, bring the priest... (cont’d)

...a bundle of grain from the first cutting
of your grain harvest. On the day after
the Sabbath, the priest will lift it up
before the Lord so it may be accepted
on your behalf. On that same day you
must sacrifice a one-year-old male lamb
with no defects as a burnt offering to
the Lord. With it you must present a
grain offering consisting of four quarts
of choice flour moistened... (cont’d)

a pleasing aroma to the Lord. You must
also offer one quart of wine as a liquid
offering. Do not eat bread or roasted
grain or fresh kernels on that day until
you bring this offering to your God.
This is a permanent law for you, and
it must be observed from generation
to generation wherever you live.

apart for myself all the firstborn in
Israel, both of people and of animals.
They are mine; I am the Lord.”

Revelation 1:5 (NIV)
J esus was the first
to rise
from the dead
Christ has indeed been raised from
the dead, the firstfruits of those who
have fallen asleep. For since death
came through a man, the resurrection
of the dead comes also through a man.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ
all will be made alive. But each in turn:
Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he
comes, those who belong to him.
1 Corinthians 15:20-23 (NIV)

A time is coming when all who are
in their graves will hear his voice
and come out—those who have
done what is good will rise to live,
and those who have done what is
evil will rise to be condemned.
John 5:28-29 (NIV)
W e can face death
with that hope!
Brothers and sisters, we do not want
you to be uninformed about those
who sleep in death, so that you do not
grieve like the rest of mankind, who
have no hope. For we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, and so we
believe that God will bring with Jesus
those who have fallen asleep in him.
According to the Lord’s... (cont’d)
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV)
...word, we tell you that we who are
still alive, who are left until the coming
of the Lord, will certainly not precede
those who have fallen asleep. For the
Lord himself will come down from
heaven, with a loud command, with the
voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead in
Christ will rise first. (cont’d)
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV)
After that, we who are still alive and
are left will be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord
in the air. And so we will be with the
Lord forever. Therefore encourage
one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV)

your gratitude?
G ive him your
firstfruits
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
