“The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christ—the blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.” GivingSufferingTurnsUniverseChristAnswersBloodModernConscienceAgentsReliefCleansingModern TimesSuffering And Death Author:John Piper

“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.” NeedsHumansJesusChristSinSacrificeBearsOffersDrawsJesus ChristFinalsImmortalPriestsReplacedMediatorsChrist Alone Author:John Piper

“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.” PeopleNeedsWellsKindTwoSufferingEvilForceChristSinLove IsWifeReturnProtectHusbandAbuseDiedDisappointmentHarmForgivenThreateningHusband And WifeReadinessKinds Of Love Author:John Piper
