On this day, the Sadducees are confronting Jesus with a hypothetical question. They have just reminded Jesus that in the Law of Moses, if a brother dies and leaves a wife who has no family, the living brother is legally required to marry and take care of his brother’s wife and produce descendants. So, in trying to trip Jesus up, the Sadducees present an extreme case in which seven brothers marry the same woman. The question posed is this: if they all “rise from the dead,” then, who is married to the woman? Jesus, then, reveals something about Heaven, when He answers that people in Heaven neither marry, nor are given in marriage! In Heaven, the institution of human marriage will end, having fulfilled its purpose to anticipate and reflect upon the marriage of Christ and His Bride, the Church (Ephesians 5:23-32; II Corinthians 11:2)!
