Questions of life and death
Luke 20.27-38Some Sadducees ask Jesus about belief in the resurrection of the dead, framed around a hypothetical situation involving widows and remarriage. Their intention is to catch him out and challenge his authority. Jesus’ response is that the important thing about resurrection is that God is God of the living, not the dead.
The Sadducees seem to come to Jesus with an important question, but their intention – and even the question itself – is ill conceived. This leads us to consider more genuine and appropriate forms of asking questions, and the vital role they play in an open exploration of faith.
This week we explore uncertainty and having the confidence to ask questions.
