“Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:”
Numbers 28:26 KJV
At the Festival of Harvest, when you present the first of your new grain to the Lord, you must call an official day for holy assembly, and you may do no ordinary work on that day. This was the first agricultural produce given as sacrifice to God in the old covenant. In the new covenant, God Himself has given us the firstfruits, for now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming. Jesus is the Word become flesh and of His own will He begat us with the Word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. What a fabulous mystery. God was delighted to give us birth by the truth of His infallible Word so that we would fulfill His chosen destiny for us and become the favorite ones out of all His creation! Hallelujah!
