    The Sadducees try to ridicule Jesus with a stupid question about what happens in heaven. The answer of Jesus is not about the how but they why. If we don't believe in a life after death, we will have no purpose for our life on earth.

    Coins are made from precious metals and bare the image of authority. We are precious creations of God that bare His image. How should we be spent as Gods currency?
