Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a widow but no children, the brother must marry the widow and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman; when he died, he left no children. The second married her and died without leaving any children. The third did the same. None of the seven left any children. Finally, the woman died. At the resurrection, when they all rise up, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her.” Jesus said to them, “Isn’t this the reason you are wrong, because you don’t know either the scriptures or God’s power? When people rise from the dead, they won’t marry nor will they be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like God’s angels. As for the resurrection from the dead, haven’t you read in the scroll from Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to Moses, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He isn’t the God of the dead but of the living. You are seriously mistaken.” (Mark 12:18-27, CEB)
The Sadducees don’t believe in resurrection but ask a question about resurrection. They want to get Jesus to say something they can us against him.
This in and of itself violates God’s commandments. Love God. Love neighbor. This is not loving Jesus but is trying to get something against him.
If this is how you operate, maybe you should reevaluate why you do what you do.
Love should be the foundation of everything we do.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
