Episode Synopsis

Text:  Mark 12:18-27   Ignorance Personified in the Sadducees (Mark 12:18)     The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. The Sadducees' authority was sourced in Moses and the Pentateuch. Ignorance Portrayed by the Sadducees (Mark 12:19-23) The Sadducees' absurd question about Levirite marriage in heaven came out of a heart of unbelief and deception. This scenario is played out vividly in the book of Ruth with Boaz and Ruth. Truth Declared in the Scriptures (Mark 12:24-27) Jesus points us to a true understanding of God and the Scriptures. Jesus displays marriage as both meaningful and momentary. Earthly marriage displays the Gospel and is a foreshadowing of our union with Christ in heaven forever. Jesus declares that God never ceases to be God – He is the God of life!
