Each source appeared between 1975 and the present, with the vast majority written by critical scholars.” The article that this was quoted from was…

could argue that many, if not all, of Corinth's problems stemmed from a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the resurrection. Discuss how the Corinthians misinterpreted Paul's teachings on the resurrection and how that misunderstanding led to the various problems in that community. One of the big issues was that the people of Corinth did not understand the resurrection. The people of Corinth believed that they were already living as the exalted and they were reaping the benefits…

In particular, this event displays God’s power over everything and that he comes first in all things. To the argument of the eternal existence of God, Jesus showed himself as first and last in everything, especially as he claims himself, “I am the First and the Last.
