JESUS CHRIST: FIRSTFRUITS OF THE RESURRECTION

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel.”

--2 Timothy 2:8

The Apostle Paul testifies that Jesus, the Christ, rose from the dead. This doctrine was contained in the gospel of Jesus Christ, within the church that Jesus established during his mortal ministry. The doctrine of Jesus’ resurrection is universal, for it is true. Jesus became the firstfruits of them that slept. “For as in Adam, all die; even so in Christ shall all be made alive” (see 1 Cor. 15:21-22) Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (see John 11:25). Jesus bore His own testimony about His resurrection. Resurrection is when one’s spirit and body unite once again into a resurrected body, a body of flesh, bone, and spirit, having no blood. Blood is only for a mortal body and means life.
