The Multifaceted Glory of Jesus Christ

“In Jesus Christ . . . meet infinite highness and infinite condescension; infinite justice and infinite grace; infinite glory and lowest humility; infinite majesty and transcendent meekness; deepest reverence for God and equality with God; worthiness of good and the greatest patience under the suffering of evil; a great spirit of obedience and supreme dominion over heaven and earth; absolute sovereignty and perfect resignation; self sufficiency and an entire trust and reliance on God.”

- John Piper, The Pleasures of God: Meditations on God’s Delight in Being God (Sisters, Or.; Multnomah Publishers, 2000), 30.
