You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
The Sadducees and Pharisees approached Scripture very differently. The Pharisees taught Scripture as God’s Word, but they added a very large oral tradition to help interpret, understand, and apply Scripture. Sadducees wanted nothing to do with this; they chose to rely solely on Scripture.* This made debate amongst themselves and against Jesus very different. Throughout Matthew, we see Jesus in debate with Pharisees destroy traditions while maintaining Scripture and God’s will.
His approach against the Sadducees in this passage was different. To tell the Sadducees that they did not know Scripture was a very shocking and bold statement. What Jesus meant by this however, is that they did not understand Scripture. It’s one thing to know the words of Scripture and even quote it. It’s an entirely other thing to understand Scripture in a way that it is lived and incorporated into daily life.*
The Sadducees did not know God’s power because they did not acknowledge His omnipotent ability to do as He pleased, including and not limited to raising the dead.
How often do we look at the things that God called us to and think that because they look dead or are dead that God is finished? How often do we read Scripture or recite memorized Scripture and faith to understand it in a way that impacts our lives? I’m guilty of this.
Today, take a step.
Maybe today the one step God wants you to take is to acknowledge His ability to do anything. Perhaps God wants to raise something from the dead, or maybe He wants you to take a step today to believe that He can if He wants to. Maybe today God wants you to begin to live the truth in His Word in some area of your life.
Whatever the step, ask God to direct it. Take a moment to take that step. Invite Him to speak. He will.
Life is a long road. Walk it with Jesus. Take a step today… just one is fine.
