Present with the Lord

31But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." (Matthew 22:31-32)

He IS the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These men are dead, but He is still in relationship with them. They are absent from us, from this earth, but somewhere they are present with the Lord. To be dead is to present with the Lord. Praise Jesus!

6So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:6-8)
