Mark 12:27

"But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?"

Key Reflection

This passage underscores that God is not merely the God of the past but also the God of the present and future, including the resurrection. By invoking the book of Exodus where God speaks to Moses about being the God of the patriarchs, Jesus emphasizes that the concept of resurrection aligns with God's ongoing relationship with His people, rooted in the covenant established through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
