Mark 12:18-27 “And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.' Jesus said to them, 'Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"? He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.”
[30:16]Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”
[28:21]John 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
[01:11:35]Observation questions
- 马可福音12:18-23中，撒都该人用什么样的故事来挑战复活的真理？他们问题的重点放在哪里？ [40:14]
- 耶稣指出撒都该人犯了哪两个根本错误？这两个错误在祂的回答中如何彼此相关？ [53:31]
- 耶稣如何借着神与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的关系，说明神是活人的神？ [01:03:56]
- 根据约翰福音17:3，永生的核心是什么？这与人通常所期待的“永远快乐、没有痛苦”有何不同？ [01:11:35]
Interpretation questions
- 撒都该人假定复活后的世界只是今生生活的延续。为什么这个假定会使他们无法理解复活？ [44:30]
- 耶稣说复活的人“不娶不嫁”，这并不是说婚姻不重要。婚姻在今生所承担的哪些需要和意义，在神完全的同在中得以成全？ [57:34]
- 耶稣从摩西五经回应只承认摩西五经的撒都该人。这怎样显出：人即使熟悉一些圣经内容，仍可能因先入为主而不明白神的话？ [01:02:44]
- “神不是死人的神，乃是活人的神”如何改变信徒面对死亡、失去亲人和自己将来时的盼望？ [01:05:05]
Application questions
- 当祷告没有照着自己期待的方式蒙应允时，自己是否曾用“神若爱我，就一定会这样做”的标准来判断神？可以分享一个具体处境，并思想如何从埋怨转为信靠。 [49:33]
- 自己对天堂或永生的期待，最常围绕哪些事：健康、没有痛苦、与家人团聚、享受生活，还是与神同在？这反映出生命最看重的是什么？ [01:09:53]
- 神不是只在危难、节期或追思礼拜中才被想起的那一位。自己日常的时间安排、家庭相处、工作决定中，哪一个领域最容易把神放在边缘？ [01:08:01]
- 这周面对一个压力、冲突或不确定的决定时，自己通常先问“神为什么不按我的计划做”，还是会问“神要我学习什么、怎样信靠祂”？可以如何实际操练后一个问题？ [01:12:39]
- 时间、金钱、家庭、事业和未来计划中，哪一项最难交给主使用？在这项事情上，本周可以作出什么具体而谦卑的调整，表明神是生命的中心？ [01:15:23]
- 若永生的中心是认识神和祂所差来的耶稣基督，自己可以怎样在这一周更实际地亲近神、认识祂，而不只是向祂求帮助？ [01:17:25]
