We Remember Our Saints

Message Notes

So much of our worship is about remembering. In the Christian tradition, we remember our savior’s birth and often reenact it with children or adults around a creche. Holy Communion, the center of our worship, always includes the text, “we remember on the night he was betrayed, he took bread, gave thanks and broke it.” However, none of these memories are about nostalgia for the good old days. They often speak of the terrible days when, just in time, God reached out and came to them. In days past, God always came to the rescue, and will continue to rescue us today.

37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” 39 Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” 40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
