A Question About The Resurrection

Have you ever noticed that we often ask questions in order to defend our position rather than to acquire new knowledge?

Matthew 22:23-33

• The adversaries are Sadducees who believe there is no resurrection. We are not surprised that their question for Jesus is about the resurrection.
• A little bit of Bible knowledge can be dangerous. Deuteronomy 25:5-10 is the basis of their question/argument. (See also, Genesis 38:8, 11; Ruth 1:11). Often unbelievers create a humorous, mocking question about God’s Word.
• Jesus chides them for their ignorance of scripture and the power of God (v. 29).
• First, there is no marriage relationship in heaven (v. 30).
• Second, (for those of you who mock the resurrection but still claim to be believers) God IS the God of Abraham (Exodus 3:6)—Abraham died and is alive!
• The crowd was astonished at this teaching. The Sadducees were soundly defeated.
