Childbearing is excruciating. Yet each day countless women willingly become pregnant. They know that pain can be endured if it is temporary, with happier times coming immediately after. Likewise, the time between Christ’s first and second coming is full of hardship, especially for believers. How do we bear it? We remember that it is temporary. Happier times are coming!
That truth is crystal clear on All Saints’ Day. On this day we remember every saint who has gone before us. We have in mind all those who had faith in Jesus, both the heroes of faith in Scripture and all faithful Christian family members. They all endured hardship and pain. But no more. Now they enjoy perfect glory, peace, and joy. It’s the beginning of the end, and we endure by remembering all the saints, focusing on the future glory that awaits us.
