Sermon Transcript: November 7, 2010 All Saints’ Day (Obs.)- The Rev. R. Allan McCaslin Readings: Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1: 11-23; Luke 6:20-31
From this morning’s Old Testament reading, “But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive … and possess the kingdom for ever – for ever and ever.” I speak to you in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Today, we observe All Saint’s Day: one of the seven principal feasts of the Church that includes Easter Day, Ascension Day, the Day of Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, Christmas Day and The Epiphany. These feasts are set aside as particularly important, particularly holy because they recall important events in the life of the Church and speak to our mission in this world as bearers of the light of Christ. In many ways, All Saints’ Day is a celebration of who we already are in Christ and who, by God’s grace, we will someday become for all believers in Christ Jesus as Lord are saints of the Church.
