Matthew 22:23 says, The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,  Another group or religious leaders, the Sadducee, came to Jesus in an attempt to discredit His teachings.  We know this was their purpose since that asked about something that would happen in the resurrection, and they said there was no resurrection.  We can never discredit Jesus by getting Him to disagree with our views.  Verse twenty-four states, Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.  The Sadducees brought up the teachings of Moses.  They were attempting to use the scriptures to discredit Jesus, specifically the teachings of Moses, one of the great men of faith in the Jewish religion.  I believe that in effect they were saying that Moses was greater than Jesus.  We should never attempt to discredit Jesus based on what the Bible tells us, because it is His book.  The Sadducees said that Moses instructed a man to marry his brother's widow if they had no children and the brother died.  This was to protect the widow and help preserve the family lineage.  Verse twenty-five says, Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:  The Sadducees began to tell a tale of seven brothers, saying they were with them.  The first died and left a widow with no children, so his oldest brother married her.  Verse twenty-six says, Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.  Then continuing in verse twenty-seven, And last of all the woman died also.  Now, all the brothers and the woman were dead.  The Sadducees said that all seven brothers, one at a time, married the woman and died.  Before her death, we today might be questioning if the woman was killing them, but this was not the purpose of the Sadducees.  They simply wanted to have Jesus teach something that they could use against Him.  We should never attempt to us God's word to discredit God, even if what His word teaches goes against what we want to believe.  In verse twenty-eight the Sadducees ask, Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.  We need to remember that the Sadducees didn't even believe in the resurrection from the dead, so this wasn't an attempt to get Jesus to clarify the teaching of Moses as they understood it.  It was simply another attempt by religious leaders to discredit Jesus.  We cannot simply interpret the scriptures to support what we believe and then expect God to endorse our beliefs.  Verse twenty-nine says, Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.  Jesus declared that the Sadducees were in error, since they knew neither the scripture nor the power of God.  This was quite an indictment against these self proclaimed religious leaders.  We today must be wary of those who claim to know more than what the scripture, the Bible, says.  Verse thirty states, For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.  Jesus said there is no marriage in heaven, and this may not be what we want to believe, but we must simply accept it as God's truth.  In verse thirty-one  Jesus asks, But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,   The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, so Jesus asked once again if they hadn't read the scriptures.  He continues in verse thirty-two, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.  God said that He was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and that He was not the God of the dead, but of the living.  Therefore, we can be certain of our resurrection to everlasting life through our faith in Christ.  Through Christ, we are born again into everlasting life.  This principle can never be disputed.  Verse thirty-three says,, And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.  As always, the multitudes were astonished at the doctrine of Jesus.  We should still be amazed at the doctrine of Christ and never just allow it to become just another teaching.
