Job 19:13-27

Psalm 17: 1-3, 7-9; 15

2 Thessalonians 2: 15-3: 5

Luke 20: 27-38

Bp. Ariel P. Santos

In the gospel, it tells of one woman surviving seven husbands.  The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection, and their question reflected a love for temporal status quo.  They want the worldly ways because they benefitted from it.  They used the illustration of marriage because at that time, marriage was used to enriched one self.   The woman was used and they did not have a say in a marriage for the father would look for a man that could benefit the family economically and socially. The arrangement was all for personal gain and it is a worldly way.  Jesus, according to the Scriptures, says that no one will be married in the age to come.

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which You have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
