Quote for Reflection (Sunday, April 14, 2019)

“We will never stand in awe of being loved by God until we reckon with the seriousness of our sin and the justice of his wrath against us. But when, by grace, we waken to our unworthiness, then we may look at the suffering and death of Christ and say, “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. (1 John 4:10)”

(John Piper, 2006)
