ENJOY YOUR MARRIAGE NOW!!!

Happy day!

Mark 12:18-27 New International Version (NIV)
18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[a] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[b]? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

Are you enjoying your marriage? If you are not married, are you looking forward to a good marriage or you see it as just a necessary evil, a neat way to have children?

The Sadducees had asked Jesus a question and in answering, He made a categorical statement that "when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage..."(verse 25).

If there is no marriage in heaven- that won't be part of the syllabus there! If we are to enjoy marriage, it is only here on earth. So, enough of strife, tension, and problems.

Choose to enjoy your marriage, and by extension, family-life you will enjoy in heaven. So, the only place to enjoy the biological one is here and how. Do it from today. Amen
