Paul says that Christ’s Resurrection is the first fruit of all of us being with God in Heaven. With the Spring rain and the sun we see the first flowers and the first fruits of all plants. This is the time we should consider an increase of what we give to the Church (monetarily and in works) and also donate some food to our Food Bank. “...Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.” (1 COR 15:20)
