All Saints Day (41)
  1. Instead of thinking you must become this state in order to be blessed, this emphasis teaches is that wherever you find people in this low estate there you find God.
  2. On All Saints’ Day, we are intentionally being reminded about those who have gone before us, those saints who are now at rest from their labors, yet they still remain as part of the body of Christ.
  3. The holy is not merely the pristine or the perfect. It is that which belongs to God and is set apart for His purposes.
  4. Those who have gone before us in the faith have no more need of absolution, for their baptisms have been brought to completion and they are eternally free from sin and done with death.
  5. All Saints’ Day is a war story. And in Christ crucified and risen, it’s also a victory story.
  6. Jesus' first words reveal that he has come to bring into our lives the blessing of his Father's love.
  7. To be a saint of God, one of His own, a child of God, is to have your identity completely swapped, from a child of this age to a child of eternity, from a child of the world to a child of God.
  8. While today we read all of the names of those who have departed this year, we do not lump them all together. Instead, we are asked to see them as God sees them, as individuals.
