Luke chapter 20 is where we are this morning. I'm going to read verses 27 to 40. Luke chapter 20

starting at verse 27. It says then some of the Sadducees who deny that there is a resurrection

came to him, that came to Jesus, and asked him saying, teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife,

and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his

brother. Now, there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died without children,

and the second took her as wife, and he died childless,

and then the third took her, and in the manner the seven also, and they left no children and died.

Last of all, the woman died also. Therefore, here's their question, in the resurrection,

whose wife does she become, for all seven had her as wife?

And Jesus answered and said to them, the sons of this age, Mary, and are given in marriage,

but those who are counted worthy to attain that age, in other words, the age to come,

and the resurrection from the dead, neither Mary nor are given in marriage nor can they die

any more for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God being sons of the resurrection.

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. And then some of the scribes answered and said,

Teacher, you have spoken well. But after that, they dared not question him anymore. Like, you know,

you can't outsmart God, right? Like, Jesus is God in flesh. And it's also

kind of odd that they're like commending God. Like, good job, God. You know, all right. Well,

this story happens during the last week of Jesus' life. As we mentioned last Sunday in our Bible study,

the last several chapters of the book of Luke capture the final week of Jesus' life

leading up to and including his crucifixion and then subsequently his resurrection.
