“I was just in awe,” Piper said of Sasse’s response. “Now…what in the world is the connection between that and the theme of this conference, which is Christ in all of Scripture, and my topic in particular assigned to me by the president: Moses wrote of me, the messianic hope of the law?”
“The connection is this,” said Piper.
“Just as Ben Sasse was asked to speak into the unbelief of a person who can’t see the beauty and worth and greatness of the reality that is holding up his remaining life,” said the pastor, “so Jesus in John 5, which we’ll look at in a minute, is speaking into the unbelief of the Jewish leaders who cannot see the beauty, the worth, the greatness of the reality right there in the book of Moses all their life.”
“And now they can’t see it when he’s standing in front of them in the flesh,” Piper concluded.
