Jesus endured for the joy set before him. Moses obeyed, expecting the Messiah. The early church suffered for a better reward. This is faith.

John Piper | When God ordains sufferings for the good of his people, he also sustains them and cares for them with all the strength of his love.

Because God’s purposeful sovereignty reaches absolutely everywhere, his gospel can satisfy, his mission will succeed, and his people can never be lost.

Jesus’s glorified body, his purpose for believers, his astonishing power, and the glory of the new creation all insist that the resurrection must happen.

There has never been, nor will there ever be, a greater reality than the God we see when we look at Jesus Christ. His very supremacy is our deepest hope.

The groaning of creation matches up with our own groaning as we wait until the day when creation will be set free from corruption and share in the glorious inheritance of God’s children.
