How preachers through history handled this text
17 public-domain excerpts on Luke 20, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“It is common for those who design to undermine any truth of God, to load it with difficulties. But we wrong ourselves, and wrong the truth of Christ, when we form our notions of the world of spirits by this world of sense. There are more worlds than one; a present visible world, and a future unseen world; and let every one compare this world and that world, and give the preference in his thoughts and cares to that which deserves them. Believers shall obtain the resurrection from the dead, that is the blessed resurrection. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 20:27–38 (Public Domain)
