Luke 20:27-38 | The resurrection. It’s central to the Christian faith. And yet, how do we describe it? And, how do we live as though it’s actually true? This morning, we hear a group of Sadducees attempt to trap Jesus with a question about the resurrection. Truth be told, those Sadducees didn’t care about the resurrection as much as they were trying to trick Jesus. But for us today, what the resurrection is, and what it means for us, is an honest question. So as we look to the end of the church year, inhabiting the truth of God’s Kingdom among us even as we await its fullness, join us for worship as we claim the promise of God’s Good News and as we look – and work – in hope for the recreation and renewal of all things.
