Among That Number
Nov 5, 2023 • The Rev. William Stokes
Who are the saints, and could one of them be you? Three premises answer: Jesus sees a saint where Matthew saw only a tax collector and Peter a failed fisherman; the saints' road, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer's return to Nazi Germany, runs somewhere wilder than planned; and grief's loneliness gives way to the communion of saints, felt at a friend's funeral communion. John's vision of those robed in white in Revelation 7 names who belongs to that number.
