What is the resurrection chapter of the Bible?
The resurrection chapter of the Bible is 1 Corinthians chapter 15. It presents Christ as the firstfruits, the resurrection of the church-age believers, and the resurrection of Old Testament believers, each in their own order, with Christ the firstfruits and afterward those who are Christ's at His coming.
Les explains that for several programs they have been studying the resurrection chapter, 1 Corinthians chapter 15. He notes that first Christ is the firstfruits, the first to be resurrected, along with those who came out of the graves after His resurrection in Matthew 27. Then they examined the resurrection of the body of Christ, the church-age believers, who will be separated from the rest. Finally, they planned to cover the resurrection of the Old Testament believers, using Daniel as a starting point. Les uses 1 Corinthians 15:23 as a jumping off place: every believer in his own order—Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.
