JW's Notes on RCL Gospel reading for Sunday 7th

Sun 7 Nov Luke 20:27-38

Luk 20:34 The children of this world - The inhabitants of earth, marry and are given in marriage - As being all subject to the law of mortality; so that the species is in need of being continually repaired.
Luk 20:35 But they who obtain that world - Which they enter into, before the resurrection of the dead.
Luk 20:36 They are the children of God - In a more eminent sense when they rise again.
Luk 20:37 That the dead are raised, even Moses, as well as the other prophets showed, when he calleth - That is, when he recites the words which God spoke of himself, I am the God of Abraham. It cannot properly be said, that God is the God of any who are totally perished.
