“Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.” Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.“
Matthew 22:28-30 NKJV
Those who opposed Jesus tried to outsmart Him and trap Him. It never worked. You can’t outsmart God.
Their mistake was imagining that heaven was just like here. As if our experience here is just like there. Jesus showed them their mistake.
Heaven will be a substantively different experience. This is our imperfect and temporary home. Heaven is our perfect, permanent home.
Paul quoted Isaiah:
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV) But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
What ever I might imagine, it’s better.
Jesus, Prepare me for eternity today! Amen.
