We could wish for peace. And we should labor for unity in the truth. But in this fallen world the gospel is always the aroma of life for some and the aroma of death for others (2 Cor. 2:15-16). So ours is a besiged joy but will always be undaunted because of the triumph of Christ. And ours is a tearful joy, but will always be undaunted because of the triumph of Christ. And ours is a tearful joy, but our tears are the tears of God-centered joy impeded in the extension of itself to others.
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professional, Preface
