Mark 12:18-27
Discussion about Resurrection
18 Then the Sadducees stepped forward — a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. They posed this question: 19 "Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will be the brother's heir.   20 Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest of them married and then died without children. 21 So the second brother married the widow, but soon he too died and left no children. Then the next brother married her and died without children. 22 This continued until all the brothers had married her and died, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman died, too. 23 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her."
24 Jesus replied, "Your problem is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of God.  25 For when the dead rise, they won't be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.  26 But now, as to whether the dead will be raised — haven't you ever read about this in the writings of Moses, in the story of the burning bush? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said to Moses, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'   27 So he is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error." (NLT)
We as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ need to study and know what the Scriptures say. We also need to know what Scriptures mean and know the power of God. Is it not wonderful that we serve one God and that God is not the God of the dead but of the living. This body will die but we will live on forever with our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to our God that someday our old body will be resurrected and made new forever.
