Yahshua Messiah (Christ) IS the Resurrection
The term “first-born from the dead” in Colossians 1:18, is again not referring to the birth or origin of Yahshua Messiah (Jesus Christ), but to His uniqueness in resurrection
The Greek word for “first born” is again ‘prototokos’, so the expression can be translated as “Prototype of resurrection.” It is a reference not only to the fact that Y'shua Messiah rose from the dead, but that HE IS the resurrection
He was the origin of life, and the One who has total control over life and death
This is all implied in the claim of the Master in John 11:25-26: “Yahshua said to her, I AM the Resurrection and the life,
He who believes in Me will never die!
Do you believe this?’ ” Truly this is a tremendous claim
Again, Yahshua makes a clear dogmatic statement that He is eternal, and that to be resurrected and enter the Kingdom you
must believe in Him.
It's true! Yahshua is unique, and He is everything that He said He was
It is because of who and what He is, that our faith in Him is so real and vital
