" 'But those who are counted worthy of that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.' "
Luke 20:35-36
What does it mean to be "sons of the resurrection?" I believe Jesus is referring to His own upcoming resurrection. John says that we become children of God through our faith in the name of Jesus (John 1:12) – the resurrected One. We were born of God through His resurrection. Paul says that we live in His resurrection (Romans 6:3-14). "Just as Christ was raised from the dead...even so we should walk in newness of life...in the likeness of His resurrection...alive to God through Jesus our Lord." We live as Sons of God through Christ's resurrection.
Today's Thought: We are worthy of heaven because of faith in Christ's death and resurrection.
Have a resurrection day. Love you.
