| 0:00.0 | If you use your imagination and try to conjure up the greatest possible experience that you would have in heaven, |
| 0:08.2 | once you reach the pinnacle of that imagination, multiply it by a million times, |
| 0:14.4 | and you still won't have reached what God is preparing for his people. |
| 0:30.6 | When we have that kind of eternal perspective, as the hymn goes, the things of earth grows strangely dim. |
| 0:34.6 | Welcome to the Sunday edition of Renewing Your Mind. I'm Nathan W. Bingham. During his earthly ministry, |
| 0:41.8 | people confronted Jesus, asking him questions to trap him. And today, another question is posed |
| 0:48.2 | to him, a question about marriage and eternal life. But they didn't trap him. |
| 0:54.5 | Before we hear today's sermon from R.C. Sprawl, and Jesus' response to the question from |

| 1:48.5 | and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. |
| 1:57.8 | Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and dying. He left no offspring. And the second |
| 2:05.3 | took her and he died, nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. So that the seven had her |
| 2:12.8 | and left no offspring. And last of all, the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrection, |
| 2:22.3 | when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife. Jesus answered and said to them, |
