Matthew 22:23-33 | The Resurrection Defended

In Matthew 22:23–33, the Sadducees come to Jesus with a question designed to trap Him and undermine the doctrine of the resurrection. Since they denied the resurrection, they presented what they thought was an impossible scenario. But Jesus exposes the real problem: they did not understand the Scriptures or the power of God.

With divine wisdom and authority, Jesus defends the truth of the resurrection and shows that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. His answer not only silences false teaching, but also strengthens the hope of every believer. The resurrection is not a minor doctrine or a general idea. It is a central promise of God, rooted in His Word and secured by His power.

In this sermon, “The Resurrection Defended,” Todd explains how Jesus answers error, affirms the certainty of life after death, and calls us to trust the living God who keeps His covenant promises.
