What does an ancient grain offering have to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Everything. In this episode of Restoration, we explore the powerful meaning behind the Feast of Firstfruits—one of Israel’s pilgrimage feasts that marked the beginning of the harvest season with a bold declaration of trust in God’s provision. But more than that, this feast pointed to something greater: the resurrection of Christ as the firstfruits of those who will rise from the dead.
Join us as we walk through the historical and biblical foundation of this feast in Leviticus 23, examine its fulfillment in the empty tomb, and uncover what it means for us today. This isn’t just about ancient rituals—it’s about new life, fresh hope, and a future guaranteed by the risen Savior.
You’ll hear Scripture read aloud, gain theological insights, and end with a personal devotional challenge and prayer. If you've ever wondered how the Old Testament and the Gospel connect, this episode will open your eyes to the beauty of God’s redemptive calendar.
🕊️ He rose on Firstfruits—so you could rise with Him.
