I Corinthians 15:20-25
Excerpted from: Jesus in the Feasts (Part Two): FirstfruitsAs I said, this is a pretty obvious example here of how Paul gives us the type and the anti-type. Specifically, he speaks to us about the anti-type and gives us a description of Him that is the type. So Paul lays out here the type is the firstfruits of the harvest, and the anti-type is Christ's resurrection as the first and epitome of God's spiritual harvest. He says very plainly: Each one in his own order (this is verse 23), Christ the firstfruits. It is simply put, something everybody knows, right? It is amazing how many people do not understand even something simply put like that. Christ the firstfruits.
But in saying this, he tells us very plainly as well that there is more to the story more than meets the eye here. He not only tells us Christ is the firstfruits, but then he more than hints at the fact that others will follow. Because right after he says "Christ the firstfruits," then he says, "afterward those who are Christ's at His coming." There is more to this than just Christ as the firstfruits. There are others that are going to follow. And this is true because Christ successfully fulfilled the type of the firstfruit of the harvest. And then others whom God calls and chooses can be resurrected to spirit and to glory as well, in His image, as a firstfruit.
