Jesus was the first to be raised into a new resurrection body, never to die again. So He is the 'sheaf ', the first of the harvest that is waved before the Lord in celebration and with thanksgiving. And just as the sheaf was waved to represent the entire harvest to the left and the right, so the resurrection of Jesus was not just for Himself. He represented the many that shall come to put their faith in
