Matthew 22:23-33 – 23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the
resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘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.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
The biggest thing I want to concentrate on after the title is when Jesus says, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures….”
We have a duty to study truth. We were not given life and freewill for the purpose of going through life and picking out what seems best for us.
There was a fall of mankind. Ever since man has gone haywire. The truth is still the Truth and everyone in this country has the ability to test what is the truth. God has let us know that if we desire something other than the Truth, He will allow us to chase after that.
Psalm 81:12 – 12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Romans 1:28 – 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
It’s too important to just believe whatever it is that we want to believe. God is powerful and He has given us His infallible Word. When read and taken literal it all comes together. Where we get away from God is when we get away from His Word.
The Truth will set you free.
