He is God of the Living

Luke 20:27-40

About the Sermon

If you don’t have questions about life after death, then you’re not thinking enough about it. Even if we know and trust the Scriptures, we don’t know everything we might want to know. We certainly don’t know everything we will one day come to know. But we can know something of what is to come in the resurrection by listening in on a conversation between Jesus and the Sadducees in Luke 20:27–40. They denied the resurrection and attempted to trick Jesus with an absurd question. In this text we learn the lesson they learned that day: Jesus has answers to all of our questions about death. Let’s listen and make ourselves all the more ready for that day.

About the Series

Luke writes that we may be certain of the things that we have been taught. That is, confident in the good news about Jesus. Apparently some of the things we have been taught are so wonderful they are hard to believe. In his orderly account, Luke announces good news of great reversals in which God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. Peace with God through the forgiveness of sins really is available but on God’s terms. To show us how we must come to him, Luke introduces us to the characters Jesus lifted up and to the proud whom he brought low. In all this he compels us to humbly believe in the Son of the Most High God and to preach this good news of great joy to the end of the earth.
