The First of Many
"Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."1 Corinthians 15:20
Reflection
Firstfruits is the first fruit of the harvest, a sign that much more is coming. Jesus was first, and whoever believes in Him follows after.
Prayer
Father, thank You for the hope Jesus gave me. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What are firstfruits?
- Why is Jesus called the first?
- Who follows after Him?
5-minute activity
Look at the first strawberry or tomato in a pack, or the first flower on a plant, and talk about how it shows more is coming. Connect it to Jesus rising first. Read 1 Corinthians 15:20-22.
