Today’s gospel lesson has the Sadducees trying to trap Jesus. You see they do not believe in the resurrection of the dead so asking if a man dies and leaves a childless wife then she marries the dead man’s brother and on and on until the all die, so whose wife is she in the resurrection? You see they do not believe we are resurrected. So why trap Jesus?
But it is them who get trapped. Jesus tells them they do not know God or the scriptures, we read the Bible all the time, but do we actually understand what we read? Or do we read to support what we already believe? Or do we only comprehend or retain what we read that supports what we believe?
So what have you read? Did you actually let the Bible live in you and breath through you, or did you look for what you needed? The Bible is the living breathing word of God and we need to let it breath in and through us to fill us, not use it as a place to get the answers we seek…
