The God of the Living || Mark 12:18-27

What happens after we die? In this episode, J. Mark Horst studies Mark 12:18–27, where the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection, try to trap Jesus with a question about marriage in the afterlife.

He reveals the truth of the resurrection and points to God’s declaration that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, declaring that He is “not the God of the dead, but the God of the living.”
