Piper's tribute to Metzger
Posted by tom | Feb 15, 2007Thank-you to Miller for passing this along. I never had the opportunity to meet or hear Bruce Metzger. But it was hard to miss seeing the name of one who in his prime there was no greater authority on New Testament textual criticism again and again. The Kingdom of God has been blessed by his training of many pastors and teachers of the New Testament. Here's the link to John Piper's tribute in which he prays that he will fill his days as diligently as Bruce Metzger. His life gave the word assiduous flesh and blood meaning. May John's ministry continue to be a blessing to many and may each of us not forget the work of the saints who have gone before us, preparing us under the direction of the Father and inspiration of the Spirit of God to bring the Word of God to Life.
