Being Mocked

February 14, 2006

For those of you, like me, rhat have been somewhat puzzled about the various reactions to the Danish cartoons of Muhammad, it’s John Piper to the rescue.

Being Mocked: The Essence of Christ’s Work, Not Muhammad’s

The work of Muhammad is based on being honored and the work of Christ is based on being insulted. This produces two very different reactions to mockery.

I commend to you this article and the website Desiring God

Dave, thankful for John Piper’s teaching.

    I look forward to reading this article. I too have enjoyed John Piper’s writing. Desiring God is one of the most significant books I have read (What’s So Amazing About Grace by Philip Yancey being another). I’m probably due to read Desiring God again.

Got something to say?
