1. You do not know the Scriptures (23-29a)

The Sadducees did not believe in heaven or in spiritual reality. They wanted to make resurrection from the dead look absurd, and they invented a gloo my story about a woman who married seven brothers in succession--according to the levirate law. Their question to Jesus arose from their ignorance of the Bible. So Jesus taught them the Bible. Moses speaks of the Patriarchs in the present tense; they were dead, but they are living with God. The God of the living is still their God.

2. The power of God (29b-33)

God is the Creator. He gives and takes away physical life. He gives eternal life. People who are preoccupied with death and who allow fatalism and materialism to rule their hearts cannot know the power of God. People's relationships in heaven are far more beautiful than the highest and holiest of earthly ties.

Application: Lord, because you live, I shall also live forever. Praise your name!
One Word: He is God of the living
