Are You Ready For Sunday…

Living Out The Word

“Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him.” 
– Luke 20: 27-38

Luke’s twentieth chapter has Jesus’ proclamation of the Good News interrupted by people who seek to trip him up. 

What are some essential things for a Christian to believe? 

Is it more important to have right belief or to love your neighbor?   

How and when do we let our theological beliefs get in the way of the Good News?

New Testament Scripture

Luke 20:27-38

27 Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him 
28 and asked him a question, ‘Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother. 
29 Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and died childless; 
30 then the second 
31 and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless. 
32 Finally the woman also died. 
33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her.’
34 Jesus said to them, ‘Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; 
35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 
36 Indeed they cannot die any more, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. 
37 And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 
38 Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive.’
