No Marriage?
Jesus said to the Sadducees, "On earth, people marry each
other. Some people will be worthy to be raised from death and
live again after this life. In that life they will not marry.
In that life people are like angels and cannot die. They are
children of God, because they have been raised from death.
Moses clearly showed that people are raised from death. When
Moses wrote about the burning bush, he said that the Lord is
'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
{If God said he is their God, then} these men are not really
dead. He is God only of living people. All people that belong
to God are alive." Some of the teachers of the law said,
"Teacher, your answer was very good." No person was brave
enough to ask him another question.
-- Luke 20:34-40 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
No marriage in heaven? Some folks worry about this. Jesus' point,
however, is that every relationship is raised to a new level and we
find a heightened and holy existence that far transcends anything we
can experience or even imagine here and so marriage will not be an
issue for us. Just remember, good things await us in the presence of
God with whom we will spend forever.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, thank you for a bright and shining future with you that is far
better than anything I can imagine, much less understand. I await your
future with joyous expectation. In Jesus' name. Amen.
