All Saints Day is a day of deep gratitude and great joy. It’s a time when the Church pauses to remember those who have gone before us in faith — parents, grandparents, friends, and fellow believers — whose lives pointed us to Jesus. We give thanks not only for what they did, but for what God has done through them: sustaining them by His grace, holding them in faith, and now bringing them into the fullness of His presence. This day is not merely a moment of sentiment or sorrow; it’s a proclamation of hope. We lift our eyes to that “great cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12) who now live in perfect joy before the throne of God. Their race is finished, their tears are wiped away, and their faith has become sight. And their song becomes ours: “Salvation belongs to our God and to the Lamb!” From a Lutheran perspective, we do not pray to the saints, but we rejoice that they rest in Christ. Their stories remind us of God’s faithfulness — that His mercy endures from generation to generation. Today, as we speak their names and ring the bell of remembrance, we do so in confidence: the same Christ who carried them home will one day raise us up too. All Saints Day is a day of comfort, but also of courage. The Church — in heaven and on earth — remains one in Christ. And because He lives, we know that death does not have the final word. Love does. Grace does. Christ does.
