GOD OF THE LIVING
Mark 12:27
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.
Encouraging Words
In the passage before this, the leaders of the synagogue were trying to trap Jesus with an argument related to life after death. They were leveraging a disagreement with the different factions in the Jewish leadership. As usual, Jesus did not take the bait, but instead seized upon the opportunity to proclaim that our God is the God of the living, that those who have gone before us, living for God are continuing to live for Him even after their departure from this worldly realm. We can claim these encouraging words and hold on to the promise that we too will be spending eternity with Him. Glory be to God!
