But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:20
“But, now…”
Contrary to all the false teachings about the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12-19), the Apostle Paul speaks the truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-11).

My family has enjoyed over the years the music of Jamie Soles. For me, I have always especially liked his song, “Resurrection.” After recently listening to it again and watching this on Youtube as it pictures friends and family digging the grave and preparing for the burial of his son, Judah, I realize all the more the hopelessness without Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and the hopefulness we have in him as He is the Firstfruits risen from the dead.
Enjoy, even with tears.
