Mark 12:27 CEV, Jesus speaking: “God isn’t the God of the dead, but of the living. You Sadducees are all wrong.”
We’re in “Holy Week,” or “Passion Week,” days leading up to Good Friday, the Crucifixion, and ultimately Jesus rising from the dead. He needed to clarify some theological points before he went to the cross.
Jesus was addressing Sadducees, a group that did not believe there was life after this life. They were wrong. Jesus points out that when God spoke to Moses in the burning bush, he referred to Abraham, Issac and Jacob in the present tense! He explained, “The Living God is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error.”
As usual, Jesus brings clarity to the discussion. The Good News and the hope for all of us is that there really is life after this life – Jesus said so! And he’s about to open heaven’s door for all of us!
Death is not the end!
Blessings and safety today!
