Lent Day 36
Lent - Day 36
Mark 12:18-27
You are badly mistaken.
Underlying this entire discussion with the Sadducees is the idea of the profound belief in the power of God, God’s ability to even overcome death or summon the dead back to life.
“Jesus accuses the Sadducees not just of misunderstanding scripture but of a failure of nerve, a failure to believe in a God whose yes to life is louder than Death’s no.”
(The Gospel of Mark: A socio-rhetorical Commentary, Ben Witherington)
Todays Prayer
Jesus, show me where I am badly mistaken.
