9 Highland Park Presbyterian Church Members Who Have Joined the Church Triumphant since November 1, 2015 When we gather together for worship, we are entering into the presence of the living God. But did you know that we are also joining the heavenly worship of the Church Triumphant, the saints who have gone before us? As Hebrews 12:22-24 teaches, just as the Old Testament people came to worship in Jerusalem, we come to worship with the heavenly Jerusalem, with the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven the spirits of the righteous made perfect. On this All Saints Sunday, may we then be especially mindful of the millennia spanning fellowship we experience every day, as we commemorate the saints who have gone to the Lord. And may we long for the day of the resurrection of all God s people, when Jesus comes again! Martha Raley Peak 11/10/2015 Dr. Daniel M. Martinez 11/14/2015 Thomas D. Munroe 11/14/2015 Norman M.

10 NOTES Jesus summoned people to a different kind of empire: one of peacemaking, mercy, humility and a passion for genuine and restorative justice. Saul of Tarsus, born and bred a Pharisee in a world shaped by the wisdom of Greece, the religion of the east, and the empire of Rome, came to believe that Jesus of Nazareth was Israel s Messiah and the world s true Lord, and that this Jesus had called him, Saul, to take the good news of his death, resurrection and universal lordship into the world of wisdom, religion and empire. - (N.T. Wright, Paul and the Faithfulness of God, 346) notes 10
