Piper Quote
Here is a quote from a Romans 8:1-4 sermon that I was listening to from John Piper that greatly encouraged me. He is giving a picture of the last judgment and what it means for Christians who now have no condemnation because of Jesus Christ.
"Who's going to bring any successful case? Who's going to be a successful prosecuting attorney against you at the last judgment? Answer - NOBODY! Why? Because you haven't committed any crimes? . . . Wrong. Because there was a Crime Bearer . . . a Sin Bearer . . . Jesus Christ, the Righteous who took it all. And that prosecuting attorney - whether it be your own conscience or the devil or the record of your sins will fail! Because the blood of Jesus will be brought forward and the righteousness of Christ will be presented in that courtroom and a verdict will be delivered . . . NOT GUILTY, Righteous!"
Thankful for our Crime Bearer!

Amen! I think I enjoyed the audio version (Billy reading his own handwritten notes from the car over the phone) a little better.
Thanks for this B,
