Famous Quotes
Over the past weekend I was reminded of some very inspiring quotes mady by men who were willing sacrafice their lives for a noble cause. Quotes I was taught in grade school like the stirring words of the hero Patrick Henry who in his most famous speech proclaimed, “give me liberty, or give me death!” And those of the courageous Nathan Hale who with his final words said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
But my wife rightly pointed out that quotes like these pale in comparison to the prayer of mankind’s greatest champion just hours before his brutal death:
Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
But then, he was no ordinary man.
I kept reading that over and over. Wow. Randy teared up.
