“Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.””‭‭Mark‬ ‭12:24-27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because Jesus says, “because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God”. Jesus is talking to the Sadducees who ruled with the Pharisees in the Temple. They were the ones who took a lot of pride in knowing God and His Word, but yet Jesus calls them out on both. As Christians today, do we know the Scriptures and the power of God? Please pray that we and our friends encourage one another to know the Scriptures and witness the power of God through our faith in Him. Please pray for Chris and Ryan’s group.
