Matthew 22:32
Jesus, on several occasions, shows that he has a very otherworldly view of Scripture. Who would think to explain the fact of the resurrection in this way? Only someone who has a good grasp on eternity. Only those with knowledge of heaven. Only people who take God’s Word for what it is. Only those who really believe what God has to say.
Even those in Jesus’ day who believed in the resurrection would hardly think of this explanation. But, Jesus was not stuck in the world of his day. He was ‘in the world, but not of it’ as much as anyone can be. We need this kind of heavenly point of view when we are looking at God’s Word.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love for us. We think that we love one another so much, but so often we do not have the love of Christ. We think that our care and concern for others is so patient and considerate. But, then we consider Your amazing faithfulness and great long-suffering with us, and we are put to shame. You are so much better than we can ever hope to be. Yet, Lord, we know that You can make us perfect through Christ. Thank You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
