What thoughts come to you when you think about Thanksgiving? Food just might come to mind. I know we all have a picture of that perfectly basted turkey with dressing/gravy. As a child my favorite dish was the fruit salad with all the fresh apples, bananas, pineapple, oranges which were topped with whipped cream. Way back in the 40’s, fruit was only available during it’s growing season, but on special holidays they would have limited supplies of fruits from the tropics. Today our grocery stores make fresh foods available year round that come from around the world via transport and refrigeration. I wonder if that has given many a sense of entitlement with gratitude and thankfulness being tossed aside. As you enjoy this Thanksgiving would you read with me about the Firstfruits in 1Corth. 15:20-28 “NOW IS CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD, AND BECOME THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT DIED. For like Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive, but every man in his own order: CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS; afterward they that are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to GOD, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death…When all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, that GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL.” Thank you, LORD…
THE LIVING GOD – FIRSTFRUITS
