Do you ever wonder what happens when we die? Not to our physical body, that we can “google”. But none of us really know what happens after we die until we get there. That however is the mystery of our faith. Debate after debate and many discussions and opinions can arise from this subject. People will continue to wonder.

So, even Jesus had to put up with groups questioning Him. This one about Resurrection, which this group of Sadducees clearly do not believe in. They are thinking of life and death in wholly mortal terms. They are thinking so literally, that they are missing the bigger picture, the treasure of God’s love promised through the resurrection into new life. It is the realization that nothing, even death, can separate us from the love of God.
 

We cannot know what happens after our bodies die. But what we do know is that our loved ones are in our hearts and in our memories and have an influence on how we live the rest of our earthly lives.
 

Think about the last line of this scripture, “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.” “Through the love of God and the example of Jesus, we can move from death to life as a child of the resurrection.” I am prepared to live that way and I have faith in what is yet to come.
