1 Corinthians 15:23
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”
Χριστός
The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.
