Vamos examinar nesse vídeo a expressão profunda "Cristo - as primícias" (1Co 15:23) para poder descobrir seu verdadeiro significado. Por que o apóstolo inspirado pelo Espírito Santo, dá ao Senhor esse título, chamando-o de "primícias"? E por que se Cristo é as primícias, há também um grupo de pessoas que se acham com ele em Apocalipse 14, que recebem esse título? E qual a relação de tudo isso com a ressurreição misteriosa daqueles que ressuscitam e saem dos túmulos após a ressurreição do Senhor Jesus, conforme nos é dito em Mateus 27:52-53; e por fim, como tudo isso se liga com "os que são de Cristo" (hoi tou Christou - grego). Que esse vídeo sirva para ajudar a cada um que vier a assisti-lo a poder responder essas perguntas. Também informamos que esse vídeo faz parte do estudo mais amplo da passagem de 1Coríntios 15:20-23. O estudo será gravado em próximos vídeos. Nos dedicaremos a estudar principalmente a expressão "Os que são de Cristo" (hoi tou Christou - grego) E assim, veremos que 1Coríntios 15:20-23, não promete uma única ressurreição e nem um único arrebatamento. Antes, mostra que cada grupo ressuscitará em uma ordem (tagma - grego) própria; e que somente os que pagarem o preço, poderão trazer em corpos glorificados, "a imagem do Celestial".
