Sadducees who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, try to trap Jesus by concocting an unrealistic and convoluted case of a serial widow who marries a succession of seven brothers. Jesus responds in a rather sarcastic manner by teaching about God to whom all are alive and in whom all relationships are fulfilled. Ann then there is Job...his life has burned down to nothing, and yet in the ashes he finds a faith that will not die: “My Redeemer lives.” What good does it do to not trust in the presence of a God who defeated death and the disciples despair by coming back to life? Why has this "story" survived to this very day? In this message we ponder the presence of God in seemingly Godforsaken moments of life.
