A SIGNIFICANT ANSWER FROM THE LORD JESUS

1. If the Sadducees thought that they could stump the Lord Jesus they were very wrong.

2. The Lord Jesus gave them an answer that was significant in many ways!

“Jesus answered and said to them, ‘The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.’”

Luke 20:34-36

a. Life on earth
i. People marry.
ii. That is normal for “the sons of this age”.
b. Life in heaven.
i. That Age of time is not like this present age.
ii. It may be called “the Age of the Resurrection of the dead”.
iii. People don’t marry in heaven.
iv. There is no death.
v. All resurrected ones are like the angels of God.
vi. They are indeed called “sons of God”.
vii. For they have become “sons of the resurrection”.

GOD OF THE LIVING

“But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”

Luke 20:37-38

c. He is the God of the living.
d. Moses believed that the patriarchs were alive in heaven.
e. They were alive in the LORD.

ADMISSION OF THE WISDOM OF THE LORD JESUS

“Then some of the scribes answered and said, ‘Teacher, You have spoken well.’ But after that they dared not question Him anymore.”

Luke 20:39-40

1. The Sadducees did not have a reply to this answer from the Lord Jesus.

3. The enemies of the Lord Jesus had nothing further to say to the Lord Jesus.
