Lesson 2466

(Lesson 2466)(09-18-18) Mark 12:18-25
    “Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.”

    In today’s lesson, Jesus made it clear that a marriage bound on earth will not be recognized in heaven. Although I thoroughly believe that we will recognize, and know, each other in heaven. The ties of marriage will not apply since we will be “as the angels” each being our own individual spirit; Whereas, through marriage we are both, husband and wife, through the eyes of God, seen as one individual person.~
