Jesus is the new meeting place with God and he says not better watch out you better not cry

you better not shout up to you why he doesn't say that

He says whoever comes to me I will never cast him out.

Why is it good news that Jesus is our new meeting place with God?

That's the question John Piper answers from John 2, 12 to 22 in this episode of Light and Truth.

This sermon was originally preached at Bethlehem Baptist Church on December 21st, 2008.

Let's pray.

You are very great. Lord Jesus. Destroy this temple and in three days I'll raise it up.

Nobody ever spoke like that.

That is absolute insanity or the most precious truth in the world.

Nothing in between. No silliness about an admirable teacher here. You're crazy Jesus or your God.

So come, don't let anybody get out of this, Lord.

Grant that we would see your majesty.

In your name we pray,

Amen.

Jesus came into the world.

Jesus came into the world, why? To display the infinite worth of his father and to vindicate

his father's honor and to free us from the killing effects of the love of money.

Say that again.

Jesus came into the world to display the infinite value

and preciousness of his father. the infinite the

of his father and to vindicate the honor of his father
