A Defiant Celebration

November 03, 2019

Rev. Jake Allstaedt

All Saints' Day is a defiant celebration. We dare to count ourselves—by God’s grace and declaration—among the saints who will join those who are with Jesus now and await with us the day of His return when He will raise us to new bodily life and make everything new. No, we don’t look holy. We don’t look righteous. But our hope is not in ourselves. We stubbornly rest in Jesus, who has, by His finished work of His death and resurrection, made us saints. That is who we are.
