Matthew 22:29
Jesus points out not one, but two, grievous errors. first, though the Sadducees thought themselves very true to the Torah, it is their lack of knowledge of it that caused them to make a false assumption about marriage in heaven. Even worse, because they had only a bland application of Scriptures that they had obviously misunderstood, they also had failed to recognize the value of the power of God. In other words, they had missed the forest for the trees. They had focused so much on the letter of the law that they completely missed the Holy Spirit of God Who actually wrote it.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for this glorious day to serve You! You inspire me to think thoughts I never would have considered otherwise. You stretch my brain and mold it to handle more of eternity. Your infinitude challenges my existence and enhances it. By the power of Your Son I may become so much more than I am now. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
