Piper: the center

    Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796
Meditation:
The LORD is King for ever and ever;
    the nations will perish from his land.
    —Psalm 10:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    If we would meet God in worship, there is only one place we must go, to Jesus Christ. Christianity has no geographical center like Islam and Judaism... He came into the world to explode geographical limitation. There is no temple now. Jerusalem is not the center. Christ is.
    ... John S. Piper (b. 1946), Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die, Crossway, 2006, p. 69 (see the book)

    Lord, Your presence and authority are boundless. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
