I Corinthians 15:20-25
Excerpted from: Jesus in the Feasts (Part Two): Firstfruits

As 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.

I Corinthians 15:22-26
Excerpted from: The Bride of Christ (Part One)

Brethren, these verses point to a very specific time and a very specific group of individuals who have been called in an order only God Himself has already determined.

It is important that we take time in this sermon, the second day of God's holy Feast of Tabernacles, to remind ourselves why we are here. As Richard has been clearly teaching over the last couple of years, I think the main focus of the holy days is Jesus Christ.

Within that we need to fully appreciate the very special relationship that we have been called to have with Him now in order that we can fully appreciate the very special training that God is providing to a very carefully selected handful compared to all who will ever live.

I Corinthians 15:24-28
Excerpted from: The Appointed Weeks of Pentecost

Verse 28 tells us what God is moving all of His creation toward, which is that the Father will be all in all. Everything will be focused on Him, subject to Him, and ultimately in alignment and agreement with Him. And if the whole creation is in agreement with the Father, there will be harmony because everyone will also be in agreement with everyone else. That is almost impossible to imagine these days.

This view of the overarching work of God teaches us that God’s plan, including His creation of mankind, was and is about God, not man. Even the church, with as significant as it is, was instituted for God’s satisfaction and pleasure, not for its own sake.

I Corinthians 15:24
Excerpted from: Free Will or God's Sovereignty?

If we were to write a summary of these bookends, we could say, “in the beginning, God, and at the end, God.” God started it, and when it is complete, God will be all in all. All rule and authority and power will be yielded to Him. Every knee will have bowed to Him and every tongue will have confessed, or they will cease to exist.
