John Piper Sermons Living the Mystery of Joy in Suffering
This new teaching by Pastor John Piper titled “Mystery of Joy in Suffering” is what we are bringing to you to listen to and meditate on.
God is so sovereign over the disasters and the disappointments of our lives, that he is able to make every one of them serve our everlasting joy. He is so sovereign over all the disasters, all the disappointments of our lives, that he is able to take all of them and make all of them serve our everlasting joy.
This sovereign grace is the ground of your joy in sorrows — not after sorrows, but in the sorrows of deep disappointment. So, the Christian Hedonist does not merely pursue joy after sorrow; he pursues joy in sorrow, in disappointment. The watchword of your life then becomes “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.”
In this message, pastor John gives us five implications or applications of this. And it really is quite profound what happens in a church when this takes hold, and what happens in you and your family.
1. You will be free from pretending.
2.You will survive under the heaviest suffering.
3.You will enter others’ sorrows and joys.
4.You will worship with the aroma of Christ.
5.You will look like Jesus
This is a message that will teach you a lot.
