Is Christ Your Treasure? Examine Yourself...

John Piper: Radical Christian Sacrifice... Oh, How Beautiful.

This is so beautiful, and convicting, and inspiring. May I be the kind of pastor, the kind of Christian, who dies to self and lives for Christ. Even more so, I would count it the greatest honor and privilege of all to be counted among those who have died for Jesus Christ, in the midst of radical, bright, beautiful risk-taking and sacrifice. May we honor Him in life, AND in the way that we die.

Oh, to know the sweetness and joy of the fellowship of His sufferings...
