In Some Disguise, At Every Turn

"If they [miracles] have occurred, they have occurred because they are the very thing this universal story is about.  They are not exceptions (however rarely they occur) nor irrelevancies.  They are precisely those chapters in this great story on which the plot turns.  Death and Resurrection are what the story is about; and had we but eyes to see it, this has been hinted on every page, met us, in some disguise, at every turn...  If you have hitherto disbelieved in miracles, it is worth pausing a moment to consider whether this is not chiefly because you thought you had discovered what the story was really about?"

C.S. Lewis, Miracles
