Jesus’ Resurrection - Heaven’s Receipt for Your Victory

John 20:1-17

John 20:1–17 NKJV

Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own homes. But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”

1co 15:20-23

1 Corinthians 15:20–23 NKJV

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

Three Feasts

Feast of the Passover (14th) 1st Day

Feast of Unleavened Bread (15th) - 2nd Day

Passover

Feast of Firstfruits (16th) - 3rd Day

Passover (1st Day) - Jesus Death

Lamb was killed at EXACTLY 3PM - Jesus died at the same time

unblemished lamb was slain (old man with all the stains have been removed)

slain - death on the cross

lamb killed, trumpet blown, priest says, FINISHED (JESUS DIED AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME)

Finished () - law satisfied, curse cancelled, sins forgiven, claims against man fully met, righteousness & holiness satisfied

roasted with fire - type of fire of God’s wrath fell upon Jesus on the cross; punishing all the sins of the world in His body

eaten by the people - we recv the benefit of His FW by partaking through faith

Feast of Unleavened Bread (2nd Day) Jesus Burial

picture of Jesus’ burial - body rested in the tomb

Unleavened Bread - 2nd Day - Jesus Burial

Feast of Firstfruits (3rd Day)

Leviticus 23:9–11 NKJV

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Why? To be accepted.

Jesus is the fulfillment of the feast of the firstfruits

Went to the Father, not for His acceptance but for our acceptance

If God can accept the firstfruits, He can accept the entire harvest

John 20:17 NKJV

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”

When your Father sees the blood, He can’t see your sin

Once God punishes sin, He can’t punish it twice. That would be double jeopardy.

Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection didn’t give us an invoice, He gave us a receipt.

OT offerings were presented in different ways

Heave - priest would take the lamb and lift it high (Vertical)

Wave - wave it (L to R)
