The events of the past 24 hours bring to mind an article John Piper posted after the Indonesian tsunami.
His bullet points:
- Satan is not ultimate, God is
- Even if Satan caused the earthquake in Japan, he is not the decisive cause of the deaths, God is.
- Destructive calamities in this world mingle judgment and mercy.
- The heart that Christ gives to his people feels compassion for those who suffer, no matter what their faith.
- Christ calls us to show mercy to those who suffer, even if they do not deserve it.
