Sermon
Questions of Suffering
By Tim Keller
Sermon
Jesus Our Servant
Tim Keller | December 5, 1993
Overview
In Psalm 69, we have the prayer diary of Jesus and an expression of his anguish and his sufferings for us.
This psalm, of course, is written by David, and it’s about King David and his immediate problems. But it actually doesn’t refer only to David—it also refers to a greater king than David and a far greater suffering. In John 15, Jesus tells his disciples that this psalm is talking about him.
From this psalm, we can learn three things about what Jesus came to do: 1) he came to be a servant, 2) he came to be hated, and 3) he came to be exchanged.

In this booklet, Tim Keller looks at how one can become a gospel-humble person who is neither too self-condemning, nor too self-loving, but instead is transformed by the gospel to be a self-forgetful person, loving our neighbors like we love ourselves.
