The Sadducees approached Jesus and they just were sure that they had this riddle, this question that would make Jesus look bad.

Not only did Jesus not look bad, but he taught them something that they should have known.

Jesus is so good at answering questions.

Yours and the questions of even his critics. Find out how on today's

podcast. Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly. We believe the Bible is true and relevant to

everyone, everywhere, every day. If today's conversation is a help to you, take a moment to leave a review or share it

Jesus and trying to best him in argument. And I'll give you a spoiler alert at the beginning

of the podcast. They lose. As anybody loses who tries to go toe to toe with Jesus about theology.
