All Saints Sunday
Remember What Has Been Given to You
READINGS
Rev. 7:9–17
1 John 3:1–3
We remember those who came before us, and we worship knowing death is not the end.
If we’re honest, we don’t know what to do with death in our culture. When someone we know loses a loved one, we don’t know what to say. When we lose someone precious to us, we don’t know how to ask the living for what we need. Too often people go inward and close out others. They grieve alone. Many act like they are the only ones grieving
Revelation is a reminder that for the early Christians and for many of our sisters and brothers around the world today, death was a constant reality.
Yet, when we find this reality of death, as Christians, we are reminded that God has given us an answer. For faith didn’t come out of nowhere; it is a gift from God, We are united as a church with those who had come before. Perhaps the reason we have such a hard time with death in our culture is that we are so quick to forget that faith is not merely personal.
