That'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.
John PiperI know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John PiperBitterness about your parentsโ brokenness will kill you. Be the grace-filled end of generational sin in your family.
John PiperWe are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.
John PiperIgnatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, "Now I have another hour to answer for." (Eph. 5:16)
