19 aIf in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.  

The Last Enemy Destroyed

20 But now aChrist is risen from the dead, and has become bthe firstfruits of those who have1 fallen asleep.  
21 For asince by man came death, bby Man also came the resurrection of the dead.  
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall abe made alive.  
23 But aeach one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.  
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers athe kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  
25 For He must reign atill He has put all enemies under His feet.

What Does 1 Corinthians 15:21 Mean?



1 Corinthians 15:20-23

Jesus Christ, the first of the firstfruits, willingly gave His life so others may receive forgiveness of sin. He was a holy, sinless sacrifice, and three days later, He was the first person resurrected to eternal life! In this, He fulfilled the symbolism of the wavesheaf offering.
