The church does not pretend, as it were, that it does not know what will happen with the crucified Jesus. It does not sorrow and mourn over the Lord as if the church itself were not the very creation which has been produced from his wounded side and from the depths of his tomb. All through the services the victory of Christ is contemplated and the resurrection is proclaimed.
Thomas Hopko
so glad we don't have to pretend! We hold the death of the Lord deep in our hearts/living, now we remain with Jesus the Christ...
