Then Jesus said to them, “How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’ David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be […]
02/18/23 Daily Devotion – The Resurrection!
“’Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?’” (Luke 20:33, NIV84) This was an awfully strange question for a Sadducee, who didn’t believe in the resurrection, to be asking Jesus.
