Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 1 November 2022 Message
In the early years when the Roman Empire persecuted Christians, so many Martyrs died of their faith and as a result, the Church set aside special days to honour them. The Bible does not tell us to pray to the saints (Matt. 6:6) or through the Saints (1 Tim. 2:5), instead, we think of our connectedness to past saints and find inspiration in their stories of God’s faithfulness.
All baptised Christians who have died and are now with God in glory are considered Saints. All Saints’ Day is intended to honour the memory of countless unknown and uncanonised saints who have no feast days. This feast is observed to teach us to honour the saints who have triumphed in their race on earth and to imitate their lives.
Some saints were witnesses who preached, taught and acted in a Christ-like manner; some were Martyrs, killed specifically because they practised and proclaimed their faith despite opposition. From our text, this great multitude is probably Christians from all times and places. Long ago, God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars (Gen. 15:5) and as the sand of the sea (Gen. 32:12). Now we see that promise fulfilled.
This is a huge multitude of Triumphant Christians, so large that no one can count it. This great multitude, clothed in white, palms branches in hand, are celebrating the salvation which they have experienced at God’s hand. As we celebrate the All-Saints’ Day today, we believe that one day we will join the saints in heaven to rejoice and worship our God for the salvation given us in Christ Jesus.
TODAY’S PRAYER: Heavenly Father, grant me grace to remain faithful to you and in the end join the saints above in eternal worship of you, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
