Re:Verse passage – Proverbs 3:9-10 (day seven)
Honor the Lord… from the first of all your produce. Proverbs 3:9
He is Risen.
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20
Did you know that the Feast of Firstfruits was held the day after the Sabbath of Passover? It was a day of thanksgiving and of promise. By giving the firstfruit to the Lord, even if it meant giving everything that had been produced up to that point, it showed that the people trusted in God’s promise that a plentiful harvest was coming.
What day did Jesus conquer death and rise from the grave? The day after the Sabbath of Passover. Christ fulfilled the firstfruit. This was a promise that His resurrection was only the beginning. A plentiful harvest was yet to come; the resurrection of you and me.
He is Risen Indeed.
Amazing correlation, Rick! Thank you for sharing it. I love your last sentence: “A plentiful harvest was yet to come; the resurrection of you and me.”
Rejoicing that He is risen!
He is risen, indeed. Hallelujah!!
