SOLVING KNOTTY QUESTIONS
Read Matthew 22:23-33
Matthew 22:28, KJV "Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her."
Before they asked their questions, may you have read the manual. May you have known what the manual said or prescribed as the right practice.
At such times, no cause for fear. What is inflated is rather easily deflated by you. That's the kind of wisdom you're receiving when you read doctrinal teachings that are soaked in the anointing. You'll simply have answers for life. Nothing will be able to beat you or catch you unconsciously.
The Sadducees - the sect that believes that there's no resurrection of the dead came to Jesus to test, pose and prove Him with a hard question. All professionals and masters in what they do, when you are proven with hard questions or problems, may you excel - always having answers. The day you're designated as a master is the day some devils and questions will begin to patronize you. They'll say, "let's prove him to see if he only has a name or indeed the mastery?" But Jesus was not confused. He is ever ready. He's like a loaded gun that awaits what situation will call forth a bullet from Him. May you be this ready.
You've read our text. You know how knotty their question was. There were seven brothers who were married to one wife successively but the wife produced no offspring until she died. In the resurrection, whose wife of the seven brothers would she be?
Their construct is derived from what Moses gave them as a command that a brother should marry the wife of his dead brother to raise seeds for him (Deut.25:5-6). However, they created a knotty question out of this in order to perturb, disturb, frustrate, destabilize, measure and grade the Master as beneath them. If you're observant, you'll see that the kind of equation they formed out of the construct of what Moses commanded is a raised to power seven question. They intentionally made it so as to make it as confusing as possible. However, what does the Bible say?
Proverbs 1:17, KJV
"Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird."
Jesus had the answer at hand before they asked. Why? He knows what God has said concerning the resurrection of the dead and what their lives would be in the resurrection. So, He could tell them that in the resurrection, there'll be no marriage. And as simple as that was, it settled and solved the well knitted problem that is raised to power seven that they brought to trap Him.
If Jesus had not known the doctrine very well, He could have been puzzled. However, He has settled that long time before stepping out. The question is, "what are the foundations of your belief? Do you know Biblical doctrines?" If you don't as a Christian, you'll easily be tossed to and fro. You'll even avoid debates and the new generational Sadducees who would prove you with hard questions at the work place. You'll call them troublesome and bear your shame about - deep down in you that you have no answer to their question or constructed problem - for which you have deliberately avoided them.
I'm praying for all students and anyone still trying to prove himself or herself academically somewhere. This is how questions will be simple before you. It'll be that out of the due diligence you have given to study, nothing shall be asked that'll overburden or overbug your mind. You'll always have it in control. Those mathematical equations that the World Board on Mathematics and Science had declared knotty and unsolvable shall be solved by you. The answers will come to you. The know-how will visit you. You'll see a hand writing on the wall that'll instruct on what you shall answer with. So shall it be. Every question, problem or difficulty will be a net set before you. How can you then walk into such trap?
PRAYER: Give me the humility of a seeker and the diligence of a divider of God's Word of Truth. Nothing puzzles me. I have it all under control.
