Matthew 22:23-33
Let’s remember to pray for Jim and Marty. Sorry for the late post – it’s been a family weekend and I wanted to devote my time to them.
“Notice what you notice.” Jesus and the Sadducees… For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. (v. 30) So here’s what’s funny. How many times have you heard someone speak of someone who has died and they say something like “I’m so looking forward to seeing him/her in Heaven”? Or “…and now she’s gone to be with him (her husband of 47 years)”? It seems like this verse 30 contradicts those thoughts, especially if Jesus was speaking with real knowledge of what the afterlife would be – and we naturally presume that He is speaking from what He knows is true. So what is this afterlife really like? Let’s pursue that thought these next few days.
Slava Bohu!
