Nevertheless, there is the teachings of Sadducees, namely the false teachings that teaches that there is no resurrection.
Acts 23:8
23:8 For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection--and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

7:12 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
The fact found in it is falling down before the throne of God or His feet to worship Him more. It is the lowest position, but we will get the highest power.

God blesses you.

15:32 If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!" - The tongue is wild by murmuring, gossiping, slandering, and blaspheming.

14:29 'The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

11:32Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
For example, Mary was always at the feet of Jesus.
There are three levels of falling down at Jesus' feet as follows.
- Falling down at Jesus' feet to hear and obey His Word.
Luke 10:39,42
10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word.
10:42 "But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
Jesus' word refers to the Word which is revealed through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible, the Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword, or the Bride Tidings.
The results are as follows.- Living in holiness.
- God makes everything good; even the best in our life [Luke 10:42].
- Not experiencing the death, but eternal life. This is the best part which cannot be taken away.
John 8:51
8:51 "Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
- Living in holiness.
- Mary fell down at Jesus' feet to anoint them with the oil of spikenard for His burial.
John 12:3-7
12:3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
12:4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,
12:5 "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"
12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
12:7 But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.
The burial refers to the last ministry for edifying the body of Christ or the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain.
The requirements are as follows.- Offering the very costly oil of spikenard.
1 Peter 1:18-19
1:18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lambwithout blemish and without spot.
It means one who has been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus or the Lamb.
We are precious before God after being set free from sins.
Sinning, one is cheap or not precious before God.
We must be shepherded after being set free from sins, so we are bound to God. - Ministering to God according to the gifts of Holy Spirit and the office God has trusted.
- Offering, not looking or asking for physical things; even not stealing.
It begins from returning the tithes and offerings which belong to God. We can offer the time, energy, money, thought, up to our whole life like the three hundred denarii which refers to the wage of one year working. - Wiping with hairs means putting aside all prides. We do not feel meritorious, but owe to God. We feel not worthy, so we always give thanks when God still uses our life.
- We can offer the fragrance of Christ through the Good News and Bride Tidings.
- Where there is the gospel, there we are. It means that God accompanies us.
Mark 14:9
14:9 "Assuredly, I say to you, whereverthis gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."
John 12:26
12:26 "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
- Offering the very costly oil of spikenard.
- The peak of falling down at Jesus' feet is worshiping God like the angels in heaven do.
John 11:31-32
11:31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."
11:32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
The death works openly in the worship prayer, namely in the form of Lazarus who has died four days. It means as follows.- The rottenness of sin, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
- The destruction in marriage, children, and ministry.
- Impossibility.
- Perdition.
- Mourning or blaming others as well as God.
- Falling down at Jesus' feet to worship Him with a broken heart and confess that we are only the clay, not worthy, unable, and not precious. This crying is in faith. God lets the valley of death, the dark clouds, or the sprinkling of blood happen to make us fall down at Jesus' feet.
John 11:33-35
11:33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
11:34 And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."
11:35 Jesus wept.
As a result, Jesus will weep and have mercy on us. His weeping is in love.
Faith added with love will result in miracle. Impossible things can be made possible.
- The love clings. We cannot be se separated from God by anything.
Romans 8:35-36
8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
8:36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." - The love is sovereign. It cannot be defeated by anything. We are more than conquerors.
Romans 8:37
8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. - The love binds, unites, and perfects us until we are worthy to welcome Jesus' second coming.
Colossians 3:14
3:14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
- The rottenness of sin, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
God blesses you.
