Pity Not Them Who Rise With Christ

02.19.07

Here I have uploaded a very important message by John Piper from the Grace Community Shepherd’s Conference in 2001. This is a rare sermon, but in it, Piper reflects on the difference theologically and practically that Jesus’ and our resurrections make in the world. There are very few people talking about God and suffering with such blood earnestness as John Piper, and it has drastically changed my outlook on this life. I commend this message to anyone and everyone who is reading this post. Please consider what Piper is saying! He says the same thing in many ways in other sermons, but not quite the way he says it here. I pray for your joy in Christ would be multiplied as you listen.

Here is a link to a different version of the same sermon: “Pity Not Them Who Rise With Christ”
