Do You Know God?

Heard and awesome sermon by John Piper. It broke me in so many ways, but ultimately because we live in a world that absolutely hates Jesus and denies Him in every possible way. Piper's sermon simply reminds us that it is all about Jesus, and we can never escape this truth.

Below is an excerpt from his sermon: "If you believed Moses, you would believe me."

Do You Know God?

In John 8:19, Jesus’ adversaries, who claimed to know God, said, “Where is your Father?” And Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” The fact that these adversaries do not know Jesus—do not perceive his deity or Messiahship or his role as the Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53) shows that they don’t know God. “You know neither me nor my Father.”
