Mark 12:18
The Sadducees didn’t believe in a resurrection, meaning that the afterlife was something they felt one could not be certain about. This is actually not as strange as we might think. The fact is that they read the Old Testament with a human eye alone. They didn’t see enough there about resurrection to accept the doctrine. This is why we must rely on the Spirit, which the Sadducees also denied.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit! We have such hope for sanctification because of him. Your goodness to us is so wonderful! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
