Out of all the things Nicholay, Elena's father, has said that I remember, this is what I heard the most:
Please do not forget Elena.
I will not forget her.
It has been a year since her murder. All sorts of feelings come back. Hopelessness. Sadness. A whole bunch of love!!! Thankfulness. That there is a heaven and that I know One who sits on a Throne. Because He has mercy on the powerless, there will be a day of wrath for all who do not hide themselves in the covering of His shed blood.
But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise— let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy— your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
Isaiah 26:19-21
The Innocent Victim Has Risen!
He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke 26:46-47
Today is the day for each of us to receive the complete forgiveness of God, in Christ!
