Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him with a question. “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God? When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Now about the dead rising-have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

The Sadducees, who didn’t even believe in a resurrection, tried to catch Jesus asking a question they thought would prove Him wrong. Instead, Jesus proved how little they knew about the matter. What kept coming to my mind, however, is that we ask all of these types of questions about heaven because we anticipate it to be a certain way based on what we KNOW. Could it be, that the things we hold as important now, won’t be able to compare to the fact that we are face to face with Jesus? I believe eternity is becoming more real for people right now. Help them to see that eternity is worth it if only for the fact that we are with Jesus. No more diseases to quarantine from. We will be with God and He with us.
