All Saints Sunday - November 2

Remember These Things

Blessed are the singers who recall for us the sweet stories of salvation, the marvels of God’s infinite grace, and the reality of a Savior who has died for us all.

“And they fell on the their faces before the throne and worshiping God, sining, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever Amen!”

What hymns are dear to our hearts? These hymns which reveal to us the truth that God indeed will wipe away all tears from their eyes”. That we indeed are called “children of God” and inheritors of a sure promise “In heaven above.”

What words have been given to our ears by those saints who are at rest? “Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.” “For we will see him as he is.” “For nothing will ever separate us from the love of God that is revealed to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Speaking and Teaching

1. Blessed are the poor in Spirit.
for theirs is the kingdom of God.
2. Blessed are those who morn,
for they will be comforted.
3. Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Something I've always been curious about...how do Lutherans view the saints as opposed to Catholics?
