Jesus answers Sadducess’ questions

about resurrection of the dead.

Family

Connection

Children in our culture often know very little about death, dying, and eternal life. Take

this opportunity to talk with your children about their thoughts,

beliefs, maybe even their fears, about death and dying.

In the Gospel this week, Jesus tells us that after we die, we will

not need the same things we did when we were alive, but we

will continue to have a relationship with God. You

could use the example of a tree to help your children

understand what Jesus tells us. When a tree is alive it needs

water, soil, and sunlight. When the tree is used to make a

table, a toy, or something else it has a new purpose. The tree no longer needs water, soil, or

sunlight. Read together the short form of the Gospel, Luke 20:27, 34-38. Tell your children about your hope and faith in the

resurrection of the body and eternal life with God. Pray

together for those in your family who have died and conclude by

praying today's Psalm.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 2

Background on the Gospel Reading

In today's Gospel, we hear about an encounter between Jesus and some Sadducees. The Sadducees were a party of Judaism active in Jesus' time, descended from the priestly family of Zadok. They were literal interpreters of the written Law of Moses, which means that they were in disagreement with the position of the Pharisees, who offered an oral interpretation of the Law of Moses.

The Sadducees are described in this Gospel as opponents to the belief in resurrection. In the dialogue presented here, we see an example of the means of disputation that was common in first century Judaism. The Sadducees use the example of Levirate marriage, found in the Law of Moses, to disprove belief in the resurrection. According to Deuteronomy 25:5-10, if a man died without producing an heir, the man's brother should marry his wife and the offspring of this union would inherit the property and carry on the name of the man who had died. The Sadducees use this as an example to challenge belief in the resurrection.

Jesus argues from the same written Law of Moses to show that there is resurrection. Using the texts from the Book of Exodus (Chapter 3) that describe Moses' encounter with God in the burning bush, Jesus shows that God is the God of the living, not the dead. Here Jesus uses the same method and texts of the Sadducees to counter them. As the Gospel text suggests, he beat them at their own game!

More importantly, in this discourse Jesus shows the limits of our imaginations

when it comes to eternal life. The Sadducees argued against resurrection

because of the limits of earthly existence. They did not imagine another possibility

for existence and relationship with God. Jesus proposes that the possibilities of

resurrected life are beyond our imaginations. Jesus' conclusion suggests

something else as well: To spend time worrying about resurrected life is to miss

the point. The point is eternal relationship with God is possible, for God is the God

of the living, “. . . for to him all are alive.”

So, let us all pull together again this year and gladden the heart of a child.
