John Piper on the Consideration of God's Love

At a chapel message at Westmont College last week John Piper gave a repackaging of an old idea (for him). He explains:

I used to ask, How is it loving for God to make so much of himself and do everything for his glory? Now I ask: Why does God reveal his love for us in such a way that it turns out to be for his glory?

Or: I used to say: Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or when he frees you to enjoy making much of him? Now I say, “Why does God make so much of us in a way that winds up making much of him?”
