The Resurrection, Matthew 22:23-33

Mat 22:23-28, THE SAME DAY THE SADDUCEES, WHO SAY THERE IS NO RESURRECTION, came to Him and asked Him,  (24)  saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.  (25)  Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.  (26)  Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.  (27)  Last of all the woman died also.  (28)  Therefore, in the resurrection, WHOSE WIFE OF THE SEVEN WILL SHE BE? FOR THEY ALL HAD HER.”

Again, they tried to test JESUS about the resurrection of the dead which they did not believe in! The bible clearly teaching about the resurrection of the dead; one such scripture is from the book of JOB where he said. (one of my favorite scriptures)

Job 19:25-27  FOR I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE SHALL STAND AT LAST ON THE EARTH;  (26)  AND AFTER MY SKIN IS DESTROYED, THIS I KNOW, THAT IN MY FLESH I SHALL SEE GOD,  (27)  WHOM I SHALL SEE FOR MYSELF, AND MY EYES SHALL BEHOLD, AND NOT ANOTHER. HOW MY HEART YEARNS WITHIN ME!

Job knew that after his body is turned back into dust that he shall see GOD in his own flesh; his resurrected body.  King David said…

Psa 17:15, AS FOR ME, I WILL SEE YOUR FACE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; I SHALL BE SATISFIED WHEN I AWAKE IN YOUR LIKENESS.

David knew that one day we shall be made in His likeness, clothed in immortality and untouched by corruption.

1Jn 3:2  Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.

JESUS Responded by saying you are mistaken not knowing the scriptures. But I love HIS response that really shut them up!

Mat 22:32-33  ‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’ ? GOD IS NOT THE GOD OF THE DEAD, BUT OF THE LIVING.”  (33)  AND WHEN THE MULTITUDES HEARD THIS, THEY WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS TEACHING.

This life is but a moment, fading like the morning mist. Yet through Jesus, a radiant eternity awaits—an everlasting life overflowing with awe and joy, where His glory astounds and His presence satisfies. No more death, no more sorrow. Sickness and suffering will vanish. No more tears, no more hospitals—only the fullness of His provision, and the beauty of dwelling with Him forever.
