Quotemeal for Monday, August 31, 1959

"[Jesus said] 'I am the resurrection and the life ... Do you believe this?' This is a canyon question which makes sense only during an all-night vigil or in the stillness of smoke-filled waiting rooms.

And we are forced to see him for what he claims to be: our only hope."

— Max Lucado
