What Happens to Married Couples in Heaven? (Luke 20.27-40)

Because marriage is a big part of this life, a common question is, “What happens to married couples in heaven?” We learn the answer when the Sadducees tried to trap Jesus with a hypothetical question about levirate marriage (Luke 20:27-40, Matthew 22:23-33, and Mark 12:18-27).

The Sadducees’ Question About Marriage in Heaven Luke 20:28 and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” The question concerns levirate marriage, which we studied in detail last week. The Sadducees embraced the first five books of the Bible, and levirate marriage is in Deuteronomy 25:5-10, so they believe in it. The verses command men to marry the widowed wife of their deceased brother to provide her with a son. The son would care for his mother and serve as the legal descendant of the deceased man, carrying on his name and receiving his inheritance. This question is more than merely hypothetical or theoretical. There will be people in heaven with more than one spouse during their earthly life, so what is their relationship to them? They think they have trapped Jesus because if He says there’s a resurrection, He won’t be able to say whose wife she is, but if He says there’s no resurrection, He’ll look like a false teacher because He’s been preaching the resurrection. So, they asked, “If you believe in a supposed resurrection, how do you explain this? Whose wife will she be in the next life?” The Next Life Is Different Than This Life Jesus’s response to the Sadducees’ question about marriage in heaven: Luke 20:34 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, Ironically, Mormons quote Jesus’s words in Matthew 19:6 to defend celestial marriage, but Jesus taught that there is no marriage in heaven. It doesn’t come out in Luke, but in the parallel accounts in Matthew and Mark, Jesus rebuked them: Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. Mark 12:24 Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? Jesus rebuked them, not for being ignorant, but for being foolish. They should have known better.2 They thought the next life was the same as this life: We marry in this life, so we must marry in the next life. However, the next life is not a mere continuation of the present life, and one major difference is that there’s no marriage.3 Now we see why there’s no marriage in heaven: Luke 20:36 for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. The word “for” is synonymous with because. There’s no marriage in heaven because there’s no death in heaven. What do those have to do with each other? Because there will be no more death, there will be no need for marriage and procreation. Marriage has always been a temporary institution that allows for procreation and preserves the human race. But without death, there’s also no need for more children. Jesus could have made these points without mentioning angels, so why did He? He’s speaking to Sadducees who don’t believe in them and corrects their theology in this area... Read the rest of the blog post: https://www.scottlapierre.org/what-ha...
