Scripture: Haggai 1:15b-2:9 and Psalm 145:1-5, 17-21 or Psalm 98 • Job 19:23-27a and Psalm 17:1-9 •2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17 • Luke 20:27-38
As we continue our studies of "faith living," our Scripture readings speak of the resurrection. This week we will discuss "resurrection living."
The Sadducees in today's gospel do not believe in the resurrection. They try to trick and ridicule Jesus with their absurd and extreme examples about marriage partners in heaven if people married more than once. Jesus did not treat them with scorn, but with patience and assurance in his answer. What was his answer?
What do you think about resurrection? Especially in a post modern, empirical verification based age? How does that compare with life two millennia ago. Read Debi Thomas' "Children of the Resurrection."
