- Ignorance Concerning the Resurrection of the Dead
- First Jesus addresses the question itself
- There is no marriage between people in Heaven. The only marriage there is that of Christ to His church.
- Be assured that this does not diminish Heaven’s joys in the least (c.f. the book of Revelation, 2 Cor 12:1-7 etc).
- Then Jesus proves the fact of the Resurrection by Scripture
- He could have quoted Dan 12:2 / Job 19:25-27 / 1 Sam 2:6; but instead went to Exodus 3 – “the passage about the bush”
- God’s promises are inviolable, so the Resurrection of the dead is inevitable (see also 1 Corinthians 15).
- First Jesus addresses the question itself
- Ignorance concerning the Messiah
- Jesus quotes Psalm 110, to show that King David gave homage to the ‘Christ’ (anointed Deliverer sent by God to save His people).
- Psalm 110 also exalts the Christ as having an eternal Kingdom & ministry, being exalted to the right hand of God.
