**Mark 12:23** — *"In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her."*
The Sadducees thought they had crafted the perfect trap — a theological riddle so tangled it would expose resurrection as absurd. But they had made the oldest of errors: measuring eternity by earthly categories.
Jesus didn't sidestep the question. He dismantled its premise entirely. The covenant of marriage, sacred and beautiful as it is, belongs to *this* age. What awaits us surpasses every institution we have known — not because those bonds were meaningless, but because what God has prepared exceeds our current capacity to imagine.
This is the wisdom of a Shepherd who knows both the pasture and what lies beyond the horizon.
Walk carefully with your assumptions about heaven — the God who authored covenant life is not constrained by it.
*Let us reflect on how often we limit the eternal with the temporary.*
