Yes, Happy Resurrection Day, everyone! Remember to thank God throughout the day for his plan of salvation, to Jesus Christ for enduring to the death of the cross, shedding his blood for remission of our sins, and thank God for raising him from the dead; Jesus Christ being the firstfruits of them that sleep so that now we too can live in hope of the resurrection.
Matthew 28:1-7a In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightening, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. HE IS NOT HERE: FOR HE IS RISEN, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD;. . . . .
1 Corinthians 15:20, 23 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. . . .But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
