SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
Luke 20: 27-38
Luke 20: 27-38
The question of the Sadduccees suggests that our status here in this life influences how we will be in the afterlife. The reply of Jesus affirms that we are important not because of any 'status’ we might have, but because we are children of God. Recall moments when you saw your worth or the worth of another, as something other than worldly status
A common tactic in an argument is to make fun of the position of another. Then one does not have to take seriously the view being expressed. Have you ever found yourself doing this? Have you experienced others doing it with you? Hve you experienced others doing it with you? What were the effects of such an attitude? Is there life here? If not, where have you found a fuller life?
Jesus used the phrase ‘children of the resurrection’ to describe his followers because we believe in something that cannot e proven. Life can sometimes present us with that kind of a challenge - an invitation to believe in things we cannot prove: another person, a cause, the value of a course of action, etc. What has been your experience of believing and acting on this kind of faith?
