Show the LOVE!

Marriage, a sacred institution in the eyes of God…

So why do so many of us, take it so lightly, and break this bond so easily?

Friends of friends, is going through a VERY tough patch currently, and since I came to hear about this, I have had this nagging feeling within my gut that I need to do something radical to get them out of this tough patch.

However, every time I think about it, the logical part in me starts to take over, and makes me drop it, saying that it is their problem, I don’t know them well enough, so stay out of it.

I really feel called to show people the LOVE of God, in the way that He showed us, when He became sin for us, to save us from eternal damnation, but how do you show this love to people in a situation like this.

As far as I can tell, it is mainly an issue of trust that was broken, and then some forgiveness.

If anyone has some advice around situations like this, please let me know, otherwise please just pray for them, and for wisdom from my side, to know what it is that I must do.

Confused

I read this passage yesterday, and it has been confusing me since then.

Maybe I am over analysing it, but please, if some of you learned people can explain this to me I would really appreciate it.

Mark 12:24-27

Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

What is confusing me, is what happens to the marriage as an institution in heaven? If we are like to be lifted up to be like angels, would we not care that we were married on earth, or had kids?
