"I received a copy of this book by a co-worker who is a member of another Christian denomination. I am very honored that she is sharing her faith with me, so I am reading with care how Piper amplifies New Testament verses (often by cross reference and by exploring the Greek language of the original text). The focus is on the Second Coming. I’m old, so my death is the way I’m visualizing seeing Jesus." Jan 04, 2026 10:26AM

Gautama Buddha
“A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted! ”
Buddha, The Dhammapada: Verses on the Way
