The Gospel Of Matthew Chapter 22 Part 6 Jesus Gave The Right View Of Resurrection And Afterlife
Matthew 22:23-24 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. The Sadducees came to Jesus with a question that they believed Jesus could not answer. It is a question regarding the law of Moses and the resurrection. Remember that Sadducees denied miracles, denied the resurrection, denied the existence of angels, and said that the soul dies when the body dies. The focus of their question is what God guided Moses to write regarding a husband who married and then died without having children with his wife. Deuteronomy 25:5-10 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her....
