First-Fruits are precisely what the name implies. It is the first harvest of fruits, vegetables, etc. In Biblical terms, first-fruits are a reference to resurrection. Jesus is known as the first-fruit offering because he was the first man to be offered and resurrected with a new body that was not subject to death anymore. Technically speaking, first-fruits is the day after Passover or the sixteenth day of the month of Abib. Symbolically speaking, first-fruits is the day that Christ rose from the dead. God allowed many people to rise from the dead before Jesus, but those individuals retained the same physical body after being resurrected. Jesus' resurrection provided him a new spiritual body; therefore, he was the first-fruit offering.
