“Don’t Waste Your Cancer — by John Piper

“We waste our cancer if we think that “beating” cancer means staying alive rather than cherishing Christ. Satan’s and God’s designs in our cancer are not the same. Satan designs to destroy our love for Christ. God designs to deepen our love for Christ. Cancer does not win if we die. It wins if we fail to cherish Christ. God’s design is to wean us off the breast of the world and feast us on the sufficiency of Christ.

It is meant to help us say and feel, “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my LORD” (Philippians 3:8) and to know that therefore, “to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).”
