The title first born of the dead for jesus is of great theological importance, especially with easter in the background. The greek word for first born that john uses as prototocos, a word that literally refers to birth order, the first born child. So christians have a sure hope that one day, because we are in christ, we will reign with him as the first born of god,. heirs of all things in heaven and on earth.
If Christ really rose from the dead, then it must have major ramifications for our lives. So how does the resurrection shape us? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell discuss the impact of Christ’s resurrection at the cosmic level, institutional level, and personal level. They consider what it means that Christ is victorious over Satan, sin, hell, death, and the grave; they unpack what it means to say “Jesus is Lord”; and they celebrate our ultimate comfort and hope found in the risen Christ.
