Here we see in this passage Jesus rebuking the Sadducees. They did not believe the Old Testament taught the resurrection, nor the life after death in heaven or hell and that is why they were sad you see. God promised the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) through the Abrahamic Covenant that He would resurrect the dead. This was an unconditional covenant which means God promised and will fulfill it based on that alone. This is a guarantee that we who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation can depend on. We that have trusted in Him will never see real death because when we die we will immediately be alive in the presence of God in heaven. But this should be a sad and terrifying fact for those who have not trusted in Christ for their salvation. One man said when you hear that I have died, don’t believe it, I will be more alive than I have ever been. This is eternal life, let us be thankful that God promised and does not lie nor change His mind.
Mark 12:26-27 “But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 “He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.”
