• People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.

• Por tanto, la pregunta principal no es qué seres humanos provocaron la muerte de Jesús, sino qué provocó la muerte de Jesús para los seres humanos, incluidos judíos, musulmanes, budistas, hindúes y laicos no religiosos, y para todas las personas del mundo. Al fin y al cabo, la pregunta más importante es: ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué sufrió y murió Cristo? No en el sentido de causa, sino en el sentido de propósito.

• The missionary question is not, 'Where are there unbelievers?' and then send a missionary there. There are unbelievers everywhere! The missionary question is, 'Where are there people's who don't have any Christians in them or don't have a church strong enough to do the neighbor evangelism that we can do if we just want to do it?' That's the missionary question.

• Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more to be desired than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Which means that the power of sin's promise is broken by the power of God's.

• Hay una advertencia. El camino de la alegría que exalta a Dios te costará la vida. Jesús dijo: "El que pierda su vida por mí y por el Evangelio, la salvará". En otras palabras, es mejor perder la vida que desperdiciarla. Si vives alegremente para alegrar a otros en Dios, tu vida será dura, tus riesgos serán altos y tu alegría será plena. Este no es un libro sobre cómo evitar una vida herida, sino sobre cómo evitar una vida desperdiciada. Algunos de vosotros moriréis al servicio de Cristo. Eso no será una tragedia. Atesorar la vida por encima de Cristo es una tragedia.

• Husbands are not Christ. But they are called to be like him. And the specific point of likeness is the husband's readiness to suffer for his wife's good without threatening or abusing her. This includes suffering to protect her from any outside forces that would harm her, as well as suffering disappointments of abuses even from her. This kind of love is possible because Christ died for both husband and wife. Their sins are forgiven. Neither needs to make the other suffer for sins. Christ has borne that suffering. Now as two sinful and forgiven people we can return good for evil.

  John Piper

  Disappointment, Husband, Love Is
