The Resurrection of Christ explained

1 Corinthians 15:12-34

The firstfruits of the harvest and the contrast between Adam and Christ.

When the harvest was over before grain could be sold in the markets or could be used by the people, the firstfruits of the harvest had to be offered to God. From a general field the grain was harvested and specially prepared and then offered to God. Only then could the grain be used.

Building on that picture, Paul said that until God had raised Christ from the dead, no one had any hope. But His Resurrection became like the grain that had been offered to God: it opened the way for everyone to have hope. He made Adam the symbol of the old earthly order and Christ the symbol of the new order
