Quote of the Day

God's desire is to show wrath and make known his power. But even more he desires to make known the wealth of his glory on his people, the vessels of mercy. The ultimate aim of God is to show mercy. But to do this he must place it against a backdrop of wrath.
—John Piper, The Justification of God, p. 220.
