"It is the Day of Resurrection! Let us shine forth in splendor for the Festival and embrace one another. Let us say, 'O brethren, even to those who do not love us; let us forgive all things in the Resurrection and thus let us exclaim: Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling Death by death and bestowing life to those in the tombs!'"
It seems to me that Christ speaks to us through His letters to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3. All seven churches are accepted by Him with commendations and rebukes - though two of the churches are spared rebukes and both of them remind me of Orthodox Christians I am privileged to know.
The first is the much suffering church of Smyrna in which I see the perservance of many Orthodox under extreme duress:
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. - Rev 3:7-13
