441st Post Jesus Predictions Con't. - Predictions Concerning The Resurrection of the Saints - Luke 20: 34 - 38.

Luke 20: 34 - 38; Matthew 22: 29 - 32; Mark 12: 24 - 27.
The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." For He is not the God of the dead but the living, for all live to Him.
This was spoken by Jesus toward the end of His earthly ministry. This text was spoken by Jesus in response to a question brought to Jesus by the Sadducees concerning resurrection. It is interesting that they would bring this question to Jesus, when they themselves did not believe in the resurrection. Jesus went ahead and answered their question. This account in Luke does not show Jesus' mood when answering them as Mathew and Mark accounts do. Jesus told them they had erred. This is the word used in the King James Version. The Sadducees were the Aaronite members who were in charge of the Temple Priestly duties. These men were the teachers of the Law, and the ones who practiced the Law in Temple worship. These men should know the correct meaning of the Law of God. Jesus being the Son of God, told them they have gotten it wrong. We have just barely gotten into this passage and I am running out of space, I will continue next post.
