John Webster was on another level. If I’m not careful, I’ll end up highlighting every line in this book.
“Seeking to become gods and lords apart from God’s gift of true life, we’ve become the bonded slaves of a lord who does not seek our good, and whose gift is not life but death.”

“God’s power is shaped by his will; and God’s will is always to be for us, never to be against us, always to be savior.”
Highly recommend John Webster’s sermons.

“Sin is misery, because it’s the perversion of our natures away from God. Sin deforms human life, which always leads to suffering. We cannot hope to despise God and his ways and remain authentically human—yet the singular history of the human race is that we do just that: break loose from God, tear up our roots in his life-giving presence, and then wonder why it hurts. Sin ruins us.”
