1 Corinthians 7:20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.
I thought about making the subject line of this email "Black Friday deal" to see if it got more attention, but then I thought better of it. Because here in the church we have a better deal than Black Friday or Cyber Monday or all those things put together. Citizenship in the kingdom of heaven. And what's the cost? Nothing for you.
This verse sums up the terms of the deal quite succinctly. Christ has been raised from the dead. It happened. It's not just a myth or a legend. It happened. And that's the first fruits of everyone who has died. What that means is that everyone who has died (from your grandmother to yourself) will experience resurrection as well. The promise of the gospel is that the kingdom of heaven belongs to you. Now. Claim it. And enjoy it. What more reason do you have to give thanks?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
