For All the Saints, November 5th Worship

All Saint’s Day could bring some pressure. Being a saint sounds like a lot to live up to. 500 years ago when Martin Luther felt this he left everything behind and joined a monastery. The monks Luther joined prayed and worshipped God around the clock, seven days a week. But it did not make Martin feel like a saint. The harder he tried the more he sensed his lack of righteousness. When he started looking into the Bible for answers he found a different story. Holiness is God’s gift to bestow on us. Jesus came among us to bring holiness into our midst. In Jesus anyone can be holy, not just monks, everyone, even us find we are made into Saints because of what Jesus did for us.
