THE SET UP
Have you ever wondered if you will be married in heaven? Or if you were single in this life and you meet someone hanging around by the Pearly Gates could you have a heavenly wedding? What if your marriage wasn’t that great? When you get to heaven can you just pretend you don’t know each other? Jesus was asked about the marriage in situation in heaven, and He seems to indicate that things don’t work in heaven the way they work here. There is no marriage or giving in marriage in heaven, Jesus tells them. Why the Sadducees came up with this crazy hypothetical we may never know. But what we can learn from Jesus’ answer is that many of our suppositions about what Heaven will be like are probably wrong. Whatever we think Heaven will be like, it is better. Two things we do know: It will be awesome because God is there, and you don’t want to spend eternity in the other place, because He is not.
