Did Jesus Preach Paul's Gospel? - John Piper at T4G

Tonight, at the T4G conference, I heard one of the most eloquent and beautiful sermons I've ever had the privilege of listening to . It was John Piper's teaching on the doctrine of justification out of, of all Books, Luke. This is the type of teaching one comes to a conference to experience. It was a challenging, fresh and emotional look at a very familiar passage, plumbing the depth of the truth like I've never seen before.

Here's an excerpt but the whole manuscript is well worth the time to read, study and enjoy. Piper remains doctrinally sound, theologically profound and amazingly accessible.

First, a word about method. One of my goals in this message is to fire you up for serious lifelong meditation on the four Gospels as they stand. I am so jealous that you not get sidetracked into peeling away the so-called layers of tradition to find the so-called historical Jesus. I want you to feel the truth and depth and wonder that awaits your lifelong labor of love in pondering the inexhaustible portraits of Jesus given us by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
