Firstfruits

Gratitude & offering

What it remembers

The offering of firstfruits acknowledges God in the beginning of the harvest. Leviticus describes presenting the first sheaf before the harvest is eaten.

Study the meaning

Follow the harvest imagery from the law into the New Testament, where Paul describes Christ as the firstfruits of those who slept.

These passages are a starting point for study. For DSOI’s teaching and guidance on observance, connect with the congregation.
