SOAP: Luke 20:38
Once again, the Sadducees are attempting to trap Jesus in His words. They did not believe in angels, so Jesus exposed another one of their false beliefs. It's easy to lose our grip of eternity in heaven. We get caught up thinking that our earthly experiences are all we have to look forward to. In heaven, we will finally be with God, our maker, and worship Him forever. I think this passage indicates that earthly relationships will be meaningless by comparison to our relationship with God. Here is another commentator's remarks:
The intimacy we experience here on earth is a symbol of a reality we will experience in glory. The joy a married couple finds in their union will not be taken away, but will be multiplied, as we experience a closeness with others that is beyond us here and now.
