“By His grace, we are the water made wine. We are the dust made flesh made dust made flesh again. We are the whores made brides and the thieves made saints and the killers made apostles. We are the dead made living.

That Moses kept his hands up.”
― N.D. Wilson, Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent
