For Sunday, October 31, 2021
1 Corinthians 15:52b NLT: “When the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.”
In the US, today is Halloween, or all hallowed’s eve. Kids don funny costumes and eat too much candy. I’m OK with that! I’m not so OK with witches and the dark side of the holiday.
Tomorrow is All Saints' Day, or ‘all hallowed’s day,’ when we honor those who preceded us in going to the Lord.
In Mexico, it’s Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, surprisingly a holiday of joyful celebration rather than mourning! If those who died knew Jesus, they’re with him now, and that’s certainly reason to celebrate!
Our eternal hope is in our Savior Jesus – we should all celebrate!
