I said to myself if Christianity is dead, I will sit at its tomb and will weep until it arises again, just as Mary Magdalene sat at the tomb of Jesus and wept until Jesus showed Himself.

The joy of having brought someone to Christ is always mixed with this feeling that there is a price that must be paid.
