God of the Living

This is in a sermon series based on passages from Luke as Jesus travels from Galilee to Jerusalem, and today is All Saints Sunday. In today’s reading, Jesus is confronted by a group of Sadducees who want to trip him up by posing a question on resurrection, based on a law from the Torah. His response not only underscores the ridiculous nature of their question, it throws a light for us on the concept of being children of God, as are those who have gone before us, and thus we are all together in the “eternal now.”
