"Salvation Belongs to Him" (Revelation 7:9-12)

All Saints' Day is a bittersweet day. As a community, we remember the faithful lives of those who have received their eternal reward. But for those of us left behind, it can also be a painful day. We celebrate the promise of restoration gifted to us by Christ, but we can't help but also wonder, "When, Lord?" Thankfully, we are blessed by God with the image of our victory parade in heaven, confessing "Salvation belongs to Him". Today, we celebrate, anticipate, and give thanks for the example of our beloved saints.
