This feast commemorates the day Israel went down into the depths of the Red Sea and came out the other side alive. The children of Israel marched into a watery grave, and God raised them on the other bank a nation of free people.
Little did they know they were also demonstrating how God would bring salvation to the entire world! The Feast of Firstfruits is a foreshadowing of the work of both Good Friday and Easter, a type of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote, “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the Firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep (the dead)” (1 Corinthians 15:20). There is no spiritual death for the believer. Though his body may die, his spirit lives on with Christ.
Just as Israel marched out of the jaws of death (the Red Sea) to stand on solid ground, Jesus Christ arose the victor over death, hell, and the grave.
Just as Jesus predicted, He arose as the mighty conqueror over powers and principalities. Rome could not convict Him, the Cross could not conquer Him, and the grave could not contain Him.
He is alive this very moment at the right hand of God, awaiting the hour of His second coming when Kings, queens, presidents, and prime ministers shall bow at His feet and confess that He is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
