John Piper's Passion of Jesus Christ

I just finished this short book this morning and found some powerful statements that I just wanted to share:

p49 being sanctified means that we are imperfect and in process

p59 don’t follow a defeated foe.  Follow Christ.  It is costly.  You will be an exile in this age.  But you 
will be free.

p62  Christianity is not first theology but news.

p87 Christ-inhabited, Christ-sustained, Christ-strengthened (self) - That’s what a Christian is.

p94  Christ died to create comrades on the Calvary road.

p117 Paradise will not be a hall of mirrors.  It will be a display of majesty.  And it won’t be ours.
