The Question about the Resurrection
Some
Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a question, ‘Teacher, Moses wrote for us
that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man
shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and
died childless; then the second and the third married her, and so in the same way all
seven died childless. Finally the woman also
died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman
be? For the seven had married her.’
Jesus
said to them, ‘Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are considered worthy of a place in that
age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in
marriage. Indeed they cannot die any more, because they are like
angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself
showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to
him all of them are alive.’
Points to Ponder…….
1-
Who is the
woman who married seven men?
2-
Why do the
people test Jesus?
3-
How does
Jesus handle the tests he is given?

Pastor, parents, teacher, and friends say:
Receive the Word of God.
Learn its stories and study its words.
Its stories belong to us all,
and these words speak to us all.
They tell us who we are.
They tell us that we belong to one another,
for we are the people of God.
Children respond:
We receive these Bibles with our hands, our hearts, and our minds. Thank you.
We will read and study the Bible together.
Congregation to children:
We rejoice in this step in your journey with God.
We pray God will guide you, your family, and us as you use the Holy Bible in your home, in your church school classes, and in our worship. We will learn together and grow in our love for God’s Word.
Children to congregation:
The Word of God is a lamp to our feet, and a light to our path.
Thanks be to God.
