Jesus is the very first person to inherit eternal life, literally never to die again. By calling something the “first”, it holds that more like it will follow. By Christ being the first to receive eternal life, you can be fully confident that you will follow in like manner! Let’s honor Christ with our lives, acknowledging that in giving His first for us, He sets the tone for a life of gratitude, expectation, and eternal hope.
