Words of Jesus
And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children; and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise;
and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died. In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong."
Mark 12: 18 – 27
Let us learn to feel for the ills our neighbors suffer, and we will learn to endure the ills they inflict.
— St. John Chrysostom
Abba, Father, Lord God, I am thankful this new day, I am thankful for yesterday, I am thankful for the promise of tomorrow whether here under the sun or in heaven with You. I am thankful for each and every blessing, my faith, health, my wife, my children and their chosen ones, my grandchildren, my mom and dad, my brother and sisters, and all my family, friends and even those who chose to try and hurt, harm or covet me or what I did, do, had or have. I am thankful for the realization of feeling that fuels my faith which gives birth to faith which in You through Jesus I will continue to try and express in love, perfect unconditional love rooted in the feeling of Your presence. I sing with the Psalmist and 'To Thee I lift up my eyes, O Thou who art enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our 'my' look to 'You' LORD our God,.. have mercy upon 'me'. Through Jesus in the words of St. Paul You 'remind 'me' to rekindle the gifts of You my Lord God that are within 'me',.. for God did not give 'me' a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control. 'I will' not be ashamed then of testifying to You Lord,.. but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of 'You my' God, who saved 'me' and called 'me in the Holy Spirit', not in virtue of 'my' works but in virtue of 'Your' own purpose and the grace which 'You' gave 'me' in Christ Jesus.' So I set out with 'eyes of faith' and hope that I will serve Your purpose and bring honor and praise to all You have given me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
