There is a Resurrection

Preacher: Philip Gelston Series: Matthew Scripture: Matthew 22:23–33

Sermon:              There is a Resurrection                Matthew 22:23-33

I. A Theological Test

Acts 23:8; 2 Samuel 12:22-23; Matthew 26:39

 

 

II. A Question Rooted in Unbelief

Deuteronomy 25:5-6; Genesis 38:1-11

 

     The logic of their question is as follows:

     Premise 1: The law commands levirate marriage.

     Premise 2: If there is a resurrection, then life after the resurrection must be exactly like life in the here and now regarding family and marriage.

     Premise 3: In the given case, resurrection and levirate marriage create a difficult problem.

     Therefore, it is best to conclude that there is no resurrection.

 

III. The Biblical Teaching of the Resurrection

Exodus 3:6; John 14:1-3; John 5:28-29; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
