For All the Saints
Manage episode 518205289 series 1206009
On All Saints Sunday, we remember our connection to the great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us—from the well-known saints of church history to the beloved everyday saints who shaped our faith. In Luke's Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:20-31), Jesus presents us with his most radical teaching: blessing the poor, hungry, and grieving while warning the comfortable, then calling us to love our enemies and give generously to all. This isn't metaphor or hyperbole—it's a direct invitation into the upside-down values of God's kingdom. The saints we remember today show us it's possible to live this way, even when it feels dangerous and ridiculous. Now it's our turn to take our place in that great communion of saints, defined not by who we are but by who we love.
