Corona virus and Christ
By John Piper
Piper offers the readers of his book exactly what they need to hear…not that Covid-19 will disappear tomorrow, but that there is a God who is greater than this pandemic, and that He is in control and wills good out of seemingly meaningless pain.
Piper writes a valuable book because he emphasizes God’s character. You will be remiss to find a page without reference to God and his nature and will find comparatively less mention about you or I. This is as it should be.
Piper is not blind to the present realities of our world. He acknowledges the storms, but reminds us that to walk above them – to stay on top of the water as Peter failed to do – we must keep our eyes on Christ.
