29 Jesus answered: You are completely wrong! You don't know what the Scriptures teach. And you don't know anything about the power of God. 30 When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. 31 And as for people being raised to life, God was speaking to you when he said, 32 'I am the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' He isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 The crowds were surprised to hear what Jesus was teaching.

This is one of my favorite stories and teachings of Jesus ... where he totally corrects the Sadducees and the way the understand how things work.

God is bigger than what we think or image. What is impossible with man, is possible with God...
