First fruits
We who are in the Bible community understand the concept of firstfruits. It's the not clear for everybody in the rest of our Christian body though. A good example would be if you have ever planted several tomato plants in the spring and waited on them as they grow. The fruit begins to grow but it's just green as it can be. But it begins to swell and eventually becomes pink until finally you walk outside one day and there's your first right tomato. This just isn't a tomato this is a homegrown tomato and has something that all the other tomatoes in a grocery store does not have the zest and taste of a fruit you grew yourself.
1 Corinthians 15:20The Holman Christian Standard Bible
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
- Not to mention that when you are eating your own vegetables you also are avoiding the majority of contaminants that infest the grocery stores markets.
