"The world has an inconsolable longing. It tries to satisfy the longing with accomplishments of creativity, scenic vacations, stunning cinematic productions, sexual exploits, sports extravaganzas, hallucinogenic drugs, ascetic rigors, managerial excellence, etc. But the longing remains… Beauty has visited us. ‘And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth’ (John 1:14). How can I not cry, Look! Believe! Be satisfied!"
– John Piper
