Our paragraph topic is: (Christ's answer) Part 1.
They came with their question about marriage and the issue of heirs. Hidden in it was the question of the resurrection. They did not believe in the resurrection but they wanted to know the answer from Christ. They wanted to know his thoughts on the resurrection so that they could trap him.
He saw them coming. He knew of their deceit. He knew of their lies and their plans to trap him. Each group came with their questions hidden with their traps. Yet they did not understand who they were speaking with, who they were talking to. They knew not, they thought not, they perceived not. But Jesus answered and said to them, "You err because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God."
They had read the scriptures. They had read them over and over again but they knew them not. They did not understand them. They did not truly comprehend the depth of the knowledge of what they had read. For the power of God was in the scriptures and was far greater than their imagination could conceive. They did not believe in the knowledge of what they read in the scriptures.
The scriptures tells of the many miracles wrought by God for his chosen people. He brought plagues upon those who were against the Jews. He brought death to the first born, he fought battles to save the people. He parted the waters of the Red Sea and crushed the Egyptian army to save the Israelites. Yet they did not know the scriptures and the power of their God that he would do anything for his people.
They brought a question of conflict to Christ because this is how they perceived it. Who will the widow belong since all the brothers had her? This would create conflict on earth, but not in heaven.
This was conflict on the physical plain not on the spiritual. For we are spiritual beings in a physical body. When we leave the physical we continue in the spiritual and there is no conflict in the spiritual. There are no physical ties in the spiritual. We become free from the physical plain.
Christ is our guide, the first born. He leads the way, he opens the doors to the kingdom of heaven to the spiritual realm. When we leave the physical realm we move to the spiritual realm to be with him and all those who have gone before us. We rejoice in the union of our past and are filled with the spirit of life from the heavenly realm of God. The path is ours. The choice is ours. Come! Choose! Do not Err!
