God created meโand youโto live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passionโnamely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.
John PiperWhat was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John PiperWhen all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John PiperThat's who Jesus Christ is. He became the final Priest and the final Sacrifice. Sinless, he did not offer sacrifices for himself. Immortal, he never has to be replaced. Human, he could bear human sins. Therefore he did not offer sacrifices for himself; he offered himself as the final sacrifice. There will never be the need for another. There is one mediator between us and God. One priest. We need no other. Oh, how happy are those who draw near to God through Christ alone.
