A BRIEF THOUGHT

An An Excerpt from Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper

If we would see and savor the glory of God, we must see and savor Christ. For Christ is “the image of the invisible

God” (Col. 1:15). To put it another way, if we would embrace the glory of God, we must embrace the Gospel of Christ. The

reason for this is because we are sinners and need a Savior to die for us, but also because this Savior is himself the fullest

and most beautiful manifestation of the glory of God. The Bible says that when God illuminates our heart at conversion, he

gives “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Cor. 4:6). Either we see the glory of God

in “the face of Jesus Christ,” or we do not see it at all. And the “face of Christ” is the beauty of Christ reaching its climax on

the cross. Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure it is, and cling to it as the highest

price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain.
