  1. Why is Jesus’ resurrection described as the “firstfruits”? (20,23) What does it mean to be “in Adam” or “in Christ”? (21-22) How did Christ’s resurrection begin a new humanity and a new history? (cf. Romans 5:17)

 

 

  1. What else will the Risen Christ do with his resurrection power, and how does this faith help us live in this world? (24–26; cf. Hebrews 2:15)
