1.The Sadducees insincere question about the resurrection (27-40)

Jesus answer has two points:

• The Sadducean marriage dilemma misunderstands the afterlife, since marriage does not occur there. Thus, the problem the Sadducees pose to Jesus is a pseudo-problem. Resurrection existence transcends earthly existence and is not comparable (34–36)

• Scripture does teach resurrection in the Torah in how it mentions the patriarchs. Scripture proves that God will not abandon the elect to death (37–38)

Three Points of Application: 

• The God of redemption is also the God of creation. 
• Your marriage won't last forever; only one marriage does
• Jesus is the resurrection and the life.
