To Outlive the Universe

"The structural position in the church which the humblest Christian occupies is eternal and even cosmic.  The church will outlive the universe; in it the individual person will outlive the universe. Everything that is joined to the immortal Head will share his immortality...As mere biological entities, each with its separate will to live and to expand, we are apparently of no account; we are cross-fodder. But as organs in the Body of Christ, as stones and pillars in the temple, we are assured of our eternal self identity and shall live to remember the galaxies as an old tale."

- C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses.

(If you can read this quote without falling down in worship, then something is wrong with you!)
