Cool transitions between Tobit and
Mark
·
These connect death
and resurrection
Tobit and Sarah were in suffering
moments and both asked to die
·
Tobit
o Personally was blinded, being persecuted with his good
deeds and facing challenges
§
“Grief-stricken in spirit, I, Tobit, groaned and
wept aloud.”
§ "So now, deal with me as you please,
and command my life breath to be taken from me,
that I may go from the face of the earth into dust.”
and command my life breath to be taken from me,
that I may go from the face of the earth into dust.”
·
Sarah
o She was married seven times and each of her seven husbands
died
o She, too, was in a tough spot
o “The girl was
deeply saddened that day,
and she went into an upper chamber of her house,
where she planned to hang herself.”
and she went into an upper chamber of her house,
where she planned to hang herself.”
Now, check out the good news from
Tobit to Jesus Christ
·
Again, Jesus was
tested
·
The Sadducees did not
believe in resurrection
·
They asked about a
woman who was married seven different times
·
Their test: who will
she be married in heaven?
·
Jesus answer again
o
"Are
you not misled
because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
When they rise from the dead,
they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but they are like the angels in heaven.”
because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
When they rise from the dead,
they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but they are like the angels in heaven.”
o
“He is not
God of the dead but of the living.
You are greatly misled."
You are greatly misled."
We
Catholics believe in heaven
