John Piper Quotes About Pain

Quotes about: Pain

• Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.

  John Piper

  Christian, Easter, Pain

• Every Christian who struggles with depression struggles to keep their hope clear. There is nothing wrong with the object of their hope - Jesus Christ is not defective in any way whatsoever. But the view from the struggling Christian's heart of their objective hope could be obscured by disease and pain, the pressures of life, and by Satanic fiery darts shot against them... All discouragement and depression is related to the obscuring of our hope, and we need to get those clouds out of the way and fight like crazy to see clearly how precious Christ is.

  John Piper

  Depression, Christian, Jesus

• Not grace to bar what is not bliss,
  Nor flight from all distress, but this:
  The grace that orders our trouble and pain,
  And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.

  John Piper
