Title: How Few There Are Who Die So Hard! (Suffering and Success in the Life of Adoniram Judson: The Cost of Bringing Christ to Burma) [MP3]
Speaker: John Piper
Source: Desiring God Resource Library (Biographies)
Description: John Piper tells the story of one of my spiritual heroes, Adoniram Judson.
"Our Lord Jesus said to us in very solemn words, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit' (John 12:24). Then he adds this: 'Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life' (John 12:25). In other words, a fruitful life and an eternal life come from this: dying like a seed and hating your life in this world. What overwhelms me, as I ponder this and trace the life of Adoniram Judson, America's first foreign missionary, is how strategic it was that he died so many times and in so many ways."
"Remember your leaders who have spoken God's word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith." (Hebrews 13:7)
