John Piper on Ephesians 3

John touched upon an issue that is always front and central at a gathering like this. We are the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. That word “Evangelization” takes on so many different meanings to so many different people.

A summary of what he said about this issue: Those who do not care about the eternal suffering from not knowing Jesus have a defective view of hell and those who do not care about earthly suffering have a defective heart. Both are equally important but the priority needs to be to deal with the eternal suffering as that is infinitely longer and infinitely worse.
