Thoughts for this week:

1. In the Gospel Reading, why would the Sadducees pose a question like this to Jesus? What are they really asking him?

2. How do you deal with someone who wants to argue about religion? What if the person has honest questions and you don’t have the answer?

3. What does Jesus teach about life after death (Luke 20:34-36)? How does he then “prove” the resurrection (note the verb tense in his quote from Exodus 3:6 and recall when this burning bush incident took place)?

4. How do you picture the resurrection, or the life to come? What, if anything, in your personal experience has confirmed your belief in life after death? 5. Does your belief in the world to come affect your priorities? Should it? How?

Blessings,
Deacon
