"Tomorrow is Easter. We celebrate the victory of life over death. It is written in all the epistles. Since Christ was taken down from the cross, few have been willing to be crucified like him for their faith. That is why today we recount that Good Friday in which the Son of God suffered for us, bearing all our sins," said Knežević.
He adds that the cult Russian rock band Nautilus Pompilus has a song called “Walking on the Water” that begins with the fisherman Andrei fishing on the pier, while Christ saves lost souls. At one point, Andrei asks him what the secret of Christ’s walking on the water is, and if he reveals it to him, he will give up fishing. And Christ replies: “You see there on the hill, a cross rises. Under it – a dozen soldiers.
"Hang on to it for a while, and when you get tired of it, come back, walk on the water, walk on the water with me!" Andrei refuses this offer in fear and leaves the pier in tears, carrying the fish he caught with him. Would we today act like Andrei, carrying the fish home with him, while the Savior walks on the water and saves lost souls? And all we need to do is hang on to the cross," he says.
Many, he says, will say that we are not gods, nor saints, and that it is not necessary to prove our faith and virtue as they did. And they are probably right, but is it then fair to hide behind Christ every time we have no one else to hide behind? Or is it quite enough to send a circular message in the morning, preferably rhymed, necessarily in Cyrillic, on which is the son of God, in the background the heavenly light refracted by the shades of the tricolor.
"And so on until the next Easter or Christmas, and whether we even see those people from the phone book by then is irrelevant, because like Andrew, we will pick up the fish and go home, and Christ will continue to walk on the water and save lost souls. Just so it doesn't turn out that we were afraid of salvation," he concluded.
Christ is Risen!
