Marriage at the Resurrection

Matthew 22:22-33

That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question... Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?

Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

Why?

The Sadducees who do not believe in the resurrection so came to ask Jesus about the laws Moses had told them. 

There is no marriage in heaven, resurrection people will like angle, there is not marriage relationship in heaven.

The Lord is the God of the living, not the God of the dead. Moses, Jacob, and Abraham are resurrections, so God is their Lord. There are not dead men.

耶穌來到耶路撒冷,文士、法利賽、祭司長、撒都該人等輪流來質問耶穌,結果耶穌見招拆招,反而被耶穌質疑。

他們相信律法,卻不相信神,第一個矛盾,他們的假設是人死後仍然過人世間生活所推論的結果,這是第二個矛盾。不用真理來論述,一定有矛盾,錯誤。和我不一樣的意見都是錯的。我們用自己的經驗來看神,就認為錯了。我們的答案是錯的,去和聖經來對答案。結果對的答案都是錯的。我們不能用自己的想法廿標準來讀聖經。

神不是死人的神,是活人的神。神與摩西……是與他們有親密的關係,只是他們沒有肉身。所以說他們錯了。不能用理性、經驗,若是如此就會錯了。

How?

Jesus brings us the hope of resurrection, for Jesus has shed his blood for us, this is the Love before we know the Lord.
