He is God, not of the dead, but of the living.

It is fortuitous that this passage of the Gospel is normally read near to the beginning of November, when we have celebrated the feasts of All Saints and All Souls, since it is a strong proclamation of the reality of life after death and the resurrection of the body. Jesus proclaims that we will all become one with God and each other as children of God.
