Luke 20:38

not . . . of the dead, . . . for all, etc.—To God, no human being is dead, or ever will be; but all sustain an abiding conscious relation to Him. But the "all" here meant "those who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world." These sustain a gracious covenant relation to God, which cannot be dissolved. In this sense our Lord affirms that for Moses to call the Lord the "God" of His patriarchal servants if at that moment they had no existence, would be unworthy of Him. He "would be ashamed to be called their God, if He had not prepared for them a city" (Hebrews 11:16). How precious are these glimpses of the resurrection state!



Luke 20:37-38

even Moses—whom they had just quoted to entangle Him.
