The term 'Firstfruits' indicates Christ is the first of a harvest of ____.

• A. Angels
• B. Resurrected Believers
• C. Prophets
• D. Kings

Answer: (B)

Firstfruits uses a farming image to show that the first portion of a harvest points to the whole harvest to come. When Scripture says Christ is the firstfruits, it means Jesus is the first to be raised from the dead as a sample of what will happen to all who belong to Him. In other words, His resurrection guarantees the future resurrection of believers. Angels are created beings, not part of a human resurrection harvest. Prophets and kings are important figures in biblical history, but the idea of the firstfruits points specifically to the resurrection of believers who are followers of Christ, not to these groups. So the harvest that follows Christ’s firstfruits is the resurrection of resurrected believers.
