Luke 20:34-38  The Message

^34-38 Jesus said, “Marriage is a major preoccupation here, but not there. Those who are included in the resurrection of the dead will no longer be concerned with marriage nor, of course, with death. They will have better things to think about, if you can believe it. All ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God. Even Moses exclaimed about resurrection at the burning bush, saying, ‘God: God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob!’ God isn’t the God of dead men, but of the living. To him all are alive.”

For Reflection
There is life after death.  It may not be an existence that humans can envision.  It is mysterious.  The lives of us all are entwined in the mysterious life that is God.

Pray

so that you maintain an intimate relationship with God during your life-time.  Pray that you will allow God to direct your living.  Give thanks to the God of eternal life.
