Understanding
We're nearing the end of the liturgical year and the feast of Christ the King. The Gospels have as the theme of resurrection and the end of time. Chap. Luke brings together 20 of the conflicts that Jesus meets in Jerusalem. 4.13 In Satan abandons Jesus to time; came this time, the decisive moment when Satan (ie, the opponents) try to eliminate today's passage Jesus shows the conflict with the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection , ask Jesus to ridicule this truth of faith. They do so through a "case" school to see what Jesus would have responded
In Israel, the belief in the resurrection can be formulated explicitly rather than later. Do not be assumed philosophical immortality of the soul, but from the promise of God's power and His love endures forever and can not fail even before death, and must win to keep us resurrect his loyalty us. This revelation, which was founded in the Pentateuch, is developed through the prophets, the Christian faith has its beginning in the resurrection of Jesus

Meditation
v. 27: The Sadducees came some ... It seems that both the first and last When it comes to the Sadducees in the Gospel of Luke and that of Mark (Mk 12,18-27), but in fact they are already there first, as the chief priests and scribes. The Sadducees are a Jewish group whose name comes from Zadok, a priest of the temple of Solomon, whose descendants were recognized as the only legitimate priests (cf. Ez 44.15). It focused its actions in the temple and in politics, the Sadducees enjoyed little esteem by the people (unlike the Pharisees). Were conservative in theology: they did not accept the oral tradition and submitted themselves to the authority of the Pentateuch literally. Since the books of Moses do not speak of resurrection, the Sadducees protest. Disappeared from Israel's history when the Temple was destroyed (70 AD).
The Sadducees came to Jesus in the framework of their agenda is controversial. The question of a resurrection was valid. It will be necessary to wait until the second century. BC (with the facts narrated in the books of the Maccabees), because faith is born in a personal resurrection.
Jesus shared with the Pharisees and the people of the existence of the resurrection of the dead. For this reason the Sadducees mocked him, trying to prove, by citing the Scriptures, that belief in the resurrection is meaningless. That is why in verse 28 shows that the law of levirate (marriage between in-laws, cf. Dt 25.5 to 10).
vv. 28-29: Master Moses has commanded us: If he dies the brother of someone who has a wife, but has no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother. The phrase "Moses wrote for us" shows that the Sadducees considered Moses the mediator between God and the people, and they know the current validity of this requirement. The Sadducees
remind the institution of the levirate, expected to be 25.5 to 10 Dt. It was a common practice with other people of the East (the Assyrians, Hittites) and was then joined also the law of Israel. We find it applied in Gen Rt 38.8 and 3.9, 4.12.
The basis of this law we see a strong desire to survive in their children and give continuity to the family and lineage. Note the importance and validity of a recognized legal genealogy: the child born is legally considered to be the son of the late, not his earthly father. The Sadducees expose a case here. A story told in a popular style. In the end, human anxiety anxiety becomes divine when Jesus says, and will be children of God, because they are children of the resurrection. In God and man the same urgent need to give life to children to love.
v. 33: The woman, therefore, the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife. In the logic of the Sadducees enough to take seriously the law of the levirate to conclude that the resurrection is impossible and absurd: there is no resurrection of the dead. Such a conclusion assumes, however, a rather material afterlife: resurrection would be a return to earthly life, in particular, the joys, fecundity and fertility, with a simple quantitative increase. Thus there will be a return to married life. Review was very common in Judaism, and is also the weakness of the argument of the Sadducees.
Faith in the Resurrection is not the result of my need to exist after death, but said the need for God to give life to guard lives in the shadow of his wings.
vv. 34-35: Jesus said, them: The children of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy of future life and the resurrection from the dead, they neither marry nor be married. With this answer, Jesus gives a lesson to the complaint, the material vision of the future life. He uses a distinction very Jewish (this world here - that world there) to put in two contrasting conditions of life in this world, marriage is necessary for the survival of mankind, because man is mortal. In the world of the future instead of this reality will not help anymore because the man has reached immortality, but not useless love. Why Human love is the fullness and the fullness of God will be like angels.
Jesus then says that the condition of existence in the future life is radically different from today: it will be an eternal life with God I raised, therefore, no longer in need of sexual activity with a view to procreation. A thought so high of resurrection life is original, conceived by the Judaism of the difficulties in overcoming a sexual life, rather they tend to sublimate fertility. Those who are judged worthy: we are talking about the fate of the righteous.
What meaning to give to the words "be part of this world and the resurrection of the dead"? The other world and the resurrection may be regarded as two sides of the same reality, or they can say to a life with God after death and then resurrection of all the end of time.
v. 36: it can no longer die, because they are like angels, and since they are children of the resurrection are God's children With this verse the Evangelist links the end of sexual activity with the idea of \u200b\u200bimmortality in the afterlife and the assertion of equality with the angels. Immortality (and not for example do not have the body) is therefore the characteristic of being like the angels: hence the transience of marriage. Judaism does not ignore the comparison between the elect and the angels, it is surprising that Jesus uses it against the Sadducees did not believe that even the existence of angels.
"It can not die." With these words, Luke points out that the saved are not only similar to the angels, but they are truly children of God, brought into the divine life through the resurrection. By participating in the resurrection of Christ men enter into communion with the divine sonship of Christ himself.
In Christian tradition, this text has sometimes led to a certain devaluation of marriage and sexuality, it tended to identify with the life of the resurrection was an "angel." But being like the angels does not mean that human nature is transformed into the angel. He is Risen "dehumanized."
This will demonstrate that the verse is the overcoming of sexual intercourse in the eschatological future, since man is immortal. The argument is at the service of the assertion of the resurrection as something radically new and not as a revival of improved mortality.
Masculinity and femininity do not end in marriage and then in purely procreative, but there are a view of the communion of people: it actually already possible on earth, achieve complete fulfillment and dynamism in the life of resurrection.
vv. 37-38: That the dead are raised, even Moses showed him about the bush when he says: The Lord is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. In Exodus we find that the Lord revealed himself to Moses with these words: "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob" (Exodus 3:6). This title is convinced that the patriarchs are still alive beyond death. It would be blasphemous to think that YHWH, the living and eternal source of all life, is "the God of the dead," because, Luke adds, "all live to him," where "for" meant instrumental force in the life that he gives them.
The Lord then goes on to reveal the divine name to Moses: "I AM". The Hebrew word ehjeh, from the root Yod-Hei-Hei, used for the divine name in Exodus 3.14, it means I am the one who is, I am existing. The root can also mean life, existence. This is why Jesus can conclude: God is not dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Reflecting on the death of Jesus, in Romans, Paul writes: "As for his death, he died to sin once for all, but now the fact that he lives, he lives to God so also must consider yourselves dead to sin alive to God in Christ Jesus "(Rom 6:10).
We can say that the Sadducees that Jesus shows God's faithfulness for his people, both for the individual, not based not on whether or not a political kingdom (in the case of God's faithfulness to the people), and or even about having less offspring and prosperity in this life. The hope of the true believer does not lie in these things in the world, but the living God. For this reason the disciples of Jesus are called to live as children of the resurrection, that is, children of life in God as their Lord and Master, "having been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the word of God alive and everlasting "(1 Pet 1.23).
The resurrection of the dead is closely linked to the fact that God is the God of the dead but of the living. God is alive then life and the resurrection of the dead is not essentially a return to life, but it is a life in God's resurrection of the dead is not the resuscitation of a body that is gone, but it's the life in him

The Gospel in the mind of the Church Fathers
rise so the meat. identical, complete and intact. Wherever it is, God is filed with the faithful Mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ, that God will make man and man to God, spirit to flesh and flesh to the spirit, both of them he has already joined the his person ... What you consider a murder is just a start. Not only the soul departs, but also meat, meanwhile retires: water, fire, into the abyss, at the fair. When it seems to dissolve, is almost in transfused blood vessels. Then even if the vessels are less, because they dissolve and are reabsorbed in tortuosity of the earth their mother, from this new format will be Adam, who hear the words from God: Behold, Adam has become like one of us (Gen 3.22) . Then it will be very conscious of the evil that has escaped and the good that has flowed. Why, soul, you feel hatred for meat? Nobody is even close to having more love, after God; nobody is his brother, because it comes with you in God (Tertullian, Resurrection 63).

Like these things said, at least admit our testimony, most of them believers in God, that we expect to cover our bodies, even if left lifeless to the ground, since nothing is impossible with God come to think, what could seem more credible - if we did not possess a body - of being told that a small drop of human sperm may arise bones and sinews and flesh formed the image that we see? If, as a hypothesis, you did not exist as facts and thus generated, and a categorically assure you, showing on one hand the human semen and the other a painted image, that this be produced from that, if you did not see action in the thing, you believe it? No, no one would dare argue with this! It is for the same reason that, not having seen it yet, do not believe in the resurrection of the dead. Except that, as initially you would not have thought it possible that a small drop originated such creatures - and yet you see them produced - so you have to admit that human bodies can not not go into dissolution and scompostisi like a seed on earth, in due course for order of God, rise again and to dress the incorruptibility (1 Cor 15.53).
What power of God is able to conceive of those who say the return of beings to the state from which it arose and the simultaneous inability of God to transcend this law, it is difficult it can be determined, one thing should be noted, that he believed would never be able to generate the beings - and what elements! - Similar to himself and to the world as he sees it. Therefore better to believe in things which are impossible with men and nature, rather than not to believe the same of others, remembering the teaching of our Master Jesus Christ: "What is impossible with men is possible with God" (Mt 19:26 Mk 10 27, Lk 18,27). He also said: "Do not fear those who kill the body and then can not help but rather fear him who after killing the body has the power to throw, soul and body in hell "(Luke 12.45 2 Cor 5:4). Gehenna is the place where it will punish those who live in iniquity and does not believe the realization of what God has taught through Christ (Justin , I Apol . 18-19).

If the resurrection of the dead for you there, why condemn the violators of tombs? If the body is dissolved and the resurrection is hopeless, because those who violate the tomb incurs a pain? see that even if you deny with their lips, stays with you the full consciousness of the resurrection. A falling tree killed no man flourishes flourishes? What has been sown and harvested remains cut off from the yard man this world does not stay in the yard? The branches of the vine and the branches of the trees completely cut, transplant recipients receive life and bear fruit, man, then, for which the plants are once buried will not rise again? By comparison of hard work, whichever is greater, to mold a statue which at first was not there, or redo it again with the same shape as one that was broken? God made us from nothing, can not again to resurrect those who lived and died?
But you do not believe what is written about the resurrection because you are greek. Contemplate the nature of this and reflect on the things that we see so far. It is sown wheat, if you like, or any kind of seeds. As soon as it falls as if he died, is decaying and it is useless to food. But that putrid green rises and falls rises beautifully small. Wheat is done for us. To use our wheat and seeds are made, not for themselves. Those things that we were created, death live again, and we, the reason for which they live, dead rise not? It is winter time, you see. The trees are like dead. Where now the leaves of the fig tree? Where clusters of the vine? In the winter they are dead and green in spring and when the time comes, then, as from death, revives the life force. God looks at your infidelity phenomenal work in these things every year because the resurrection, seeing what nell'inanimato, I think also the soul. (Cyril of Jerusalem, Catech ., 18, 5-7). How

is similar to the one who is dead asleep, dead asleep, the resurrection morning! One day the truth will shine in us as light in our eyes, we will look at death as a picture of sleep that arouses concern. Crowds who sees the sleep ends up in the morning, and believes that death is a sleep that will last forever! If
hope revives our eyes, we will see what is hidden: the sleep of death will end one morning. Fade away the wonderful scent of the treasure of life in the body, the abode of the soul, from which he came. Beautiful will be the body, beloved temple of the Spirit, renewed shall be turned into the house of blessed peace. Then the trumpet will sound on deaf harps: "Wake up, sing glory before the Bridegroom! "You will hear an echo of voices when you open the graves, all take the harp to play the song of praise.
Thanks be to God who has exalted Adam, even though he has humiliated the proud in the abyss! Praise him when he humbles himself, praise him when he raises. The harp sounds to God on the day of resurrection! (Ephraim, Carmen Nisibis., 70).

Some questions for personal reflection and comparison
The message that Jesus gives us the "life the world to come "a cause for interest in me? What provokes reaction? Indifference, hope, commitment to live more fully the love that will be the content of a future life?
ideas what I did / yy concerning life after death ?
I feel son / daughter of the resurrection? What does it mean for me to live the resurrection from the moment this?
Now what are the temptations and persecutions that test our faith?
I can live to be my man / my being a woman as an opportunity to meet and fellowship with each other / other and with others?

Praying
We were created for greater things. We are not were created only through this life without a purpose. And what greater purpose is to love and being loved. For this we make our own the words of a theologian and raise to the Lord to help us to give meaning to our lives:

Lord, I accept this existence,
and accept it in hope.
Hope everyone understands and supports
,
a hope that I never know if the
really possess.
A hope that comes to my
deep
a total
hope that I can not replace
with untold anguish and possessions. I hope this
absolute
me know and I will have it: it must respond


as the biggest task of my life.
I know, Lord,
that it is not utopia, but
comes to you,
comes from you, and all-embracing and all-encompassing as

promise that humanity will

the fullness of life and each one can
not really ashamed of being a man. (Karl Rahner)

contemplative act
Let the power of the Holy Spirit comes into our lives. Let us love to love, not only in this life but also in the other and repeat to our hearts "God is the God of the dead, but of the living."
