Matthew 22:23-46

Marriage at the Resurrection
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

The Greatest Commandment
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Whose Son Is the Messiah?
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”“The son of David,” they replied. 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord:“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies under your feet.” 45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.

February 4th The realm of life 

“For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.” ROMANS 8:6 (ASV) In the realm of life there are feelings and sensations (Eph. 4:18- 19). These sensations may also be identified as the consciousness of life. For example, when you are talking with someone out of the source of your self, you may have a consciousness of feeling awkward, restless, uneasy, and uncomfortable. There is something within you forbidding. If you do not know the realm of life, you will just ignore those sensations and proceed with your thought, your view, your argument, your words. This means you are living out of the wrong source. Instead of coming from the source of the spirit, being sensitive to the feelings of life, you override the realm of the spirit by the self. So the undealt-with, ignorant self does not know how to relate in life. To be a person in the realm of life is to be one who progressively learns to take care of the spirit and the inner registrations of life and peace. It is not to pay attention to right and wrong according to the self, but to pay attention to life and peace according to the Spirit. This is to take care of the inner consciousness in our being. It is the same as paying attention to the registrations of the Spirit written on our heart and mind (Heb. 8:10). It is the same as taking care of the flow of life coming from our innermost being (John 7:38-39). And it is also the same as recognizing peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17). This is how we relate in life.
