[Oe List ...] Quote from Bonhoeffer

[George Holcombe]

What was that quote from Bonhoeffer a few days ago about lost causes, or going down with the ship, something like that.  I was trying to look it up and couldn't find it.

Hope appeareth, but it is not your Hope—you do not have anything to do with it. It just appeareth. It comes as a stranger, as an alien—it just appeareth! You do not even know why you hope. How in the world could you hope when there is absolutely nothing to justify any hope?    ~Joseph W. Mathews
