Jesus' resurrection begins New Creation, the penultimate phase of God's plan. He is the firstfruits, the prototype of what/who we will be when the new heaven AND NEW EARTH are here (2 Peter 3:13). Timing is important: Jesus went first. Our day will come WHEN HE DOES. The goal is that God may be all in all. The greatest outcome and destiny and purpose of God Himself and of all humanity will be fulfilled. He knit you together so you would be part of it.
