Paul said:
1 Cor. 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep ....
So Jesus was the first to be awakened from the sleep of the dead so as not to die again.
Rom. 6:8 Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 9 For we know that Christ, now that he has been raised up from the dead, dies no more; death is master over him no more. 10 For [the death] that he died, he died with reference to sin once for all time; but [the life] that he lives, he lives with reference to God.
So, what does the Scripture teach? Did Jesus sleep in the sleep of death, or not?
