Luke 20:34-38 ESV
And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”
The resurrection is at the core of Christianity. In it God demonstrated His love and power as He provided the way for man to enter into His presence. The tomb where He was laid was empty when the women came to the grave. We who follow after Him will find ourselves in His presence when we no longer walk this earth. We will pass from life to life.
38"Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”
Verse 38 confirms that we do not die when we shed our mortal bodies. God is life and that does not change and the life He gives does not die. The Sons of God share in that life and all live to Him.
Today we share in the resurrection of Christ, the first resurrection. We live in new life as new creations. The earth longs for the revealing of the sons of God.
