CHRIST AND LIFE AFTER DEATH
Lesson Text!
Mark 12:24-27; I Cor. 15:50-58
Golden Text: Thanks be to God
who giveth us the .victory thru
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Time
The part of our lesson taken
from Mark was written April 4, A.
D. 30. The part taken from First
Corinthians was written about A.
D. 56.
Place
The words spoken by our Lord
were uttered in Jerusalem. The
part from Corinthians was written
from Ephesus.
Aim
Through a view of the life and
work of our Lord as told to us in
all the gospels is to give the stu
dent a picture of the devotion of
our Lord to saving man. This is
done with the one purpose of win
ning allegiance to Jesus Christ.
A Question

written. The body of Jesus grew
and developed the same as yours
and mine. That body died and that
same body rose, and when it arose
it was gloriously transformed. Af
ter this the body of Jesus was not
subject to the laws of nature as
previously. Solid rock walls could
not hold him. Neither did locked
doors. In Philemon 8:21 we read
“having confidence in thy obe
dience, I wrote unto thee knowing
that thou wilt also do more than I
say" meaning that if we fulfill the
necessary conditions our bodies af
ter death will be conformed to the
body of His glory.
The Change We Will Undergo
At the Resurrection
When Paul told the Corinthians
that he was abou to show them a
mystery he did not mean that he
vould show them something dlf
ficult to understand, but that he is
fixing t oshow them something
which before this time had been Jesus Christ." There Is no doubt
hidden from them. Paul uses the
word sleep as synonomous with
the word death. And he does not
mean that not all of this generation
will fall asleep, but that not all be
llevers will fall asleep before the
resurrection. We have no knowl
edge of when our Lord will return

Defeat of Death
We read in Isaiah these words,

as far as our natural senses
able to ascertain.
The Answer
He is buried in the ground.
When one dies we do not see him
go to heaven. No one living today
has ever seen one rise from the
tomb, hen is there a life for us af
ter death? How are we to know
that there is a life for us after
death. How are we to know there
is a life after death? If some one
was to come from heaven above
and tell us there was a life there
for all who would enter into
heaven we would believe it. This is
the very thing that Jesus has done.
Why should we not all believe it?
He left his place in glory and came
down to talk to us about a heaVen
ly life. He rose from the dead to
prove to us that we should have
the same experience. This is the
theme of onur lesson today.
God of the Living
Not of the Dead
In the first four verses of our
lesson today the sadducees asked
Christ a question that they did not
think Jesus could answer. The
questions concerned the relation in
heaven of people who had been
married more than'one time.
These sadducees were a priestly
aristocracy. The only Bible they ac
cepted was the Pentatench or the
first five books of the Old Testa-1
ment. They were proud and self-i
confident. This is clearly demon-1
strated by the way ln which they
come to Jesus after the others had
been put to route. They were sure
that where the others had failed
they would succeed. They were that
egotistical. As they accepted the
pentateuch only. They raise a
ques tion as above stated relative
to future life on a domestic regu
lation which Moses had enjoined.
Ther was something else besides
this that led to the disbelief in a
resurrection and future life. The
question was not a difficult one
but was intended as a snore to the
trapping of Jesus. .They thought
that the only way out of th diffi
culty presented was the denial oi
immorality.
The question which they p e
pondered to Jesus was not a
question of husbands and wives
but a question of resurrection and
immortality.
The reply that Jesus made here
only refers casually to he domes'.!
matter, but deals particularly with
the question raised by their ques
tion.. He treats these proud boastful
fellows with error, and he attrib
utes this to their ignorance. Le
says their ignorance is twolfold. Yc
know not the scriptures, nor the
power of God.
These people (the Sadducees)
were in tellectual, but were lacking
in the understanding of God'i
word and belief in God's powe .
Jesus says that God can and wil
raise them up from the dead am
tht in the risen life earthly rela
tions will be dissolved. Our do
mestic relations will no longer ex

to the Word of God. The Sadducee
had apeealed to Mosse; now Jesu
ppeals to him. By doing this Jes
sus showed them that they did no

professed to believe. Jesus ended at

that they erred. It is God's wo d

do not know the one we should n

Facts Connected with the
Resurrection
