Worship is basically adoration, and we adore only what delights us. There is no such thing as sad adoration or unhappy praise.
John PiperYou get one pass at life. That’s all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ.
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.
