The Firstborn of the Dead | November 21, 2021 | Bethany Lutheran Church

Nov 21, 2021

Preacher: Jon Coyne

Summary:

Firstborn of the dead seems to be a very strange title of Jesus. However, when we think about it, the title is absolutely accurate. Jesus dies a real death and experiences the real separation from God. It is impossible for us to completely understand this, but we accept it by faith. Similarly, Jesus is raised from the dead becoming the “firstborn” of the dead. He is also the Alpha and Omega – Jesus is forever and we give thanks.
