On the day we remember Christos Anesti – Alithos Anesti, Christ is risen – he is risen indeed, hear is a short story for us to live as thoiugh we have a risen saviour.
An exchange between Martin Luther and his wife Katharina:
“Once, when Martin was so depressed that none of Kate’s counsel would help, she put on a black dress.
Luther noticed it and asked, ‘Are you going to a funeral?’
‘No,’ Kate replied, ‘but since you act like God is dead, I wanted to join you in your mourning.’
Luther got the message and recovered.”
