Piper on the Imprisonment of Madoff

Over the weekend John Piper wrote a little reflection on the imprisonment of disgraced billionaire Bernard Madoff. It begins with these words:

A few months ago he was worth over $800 million. Now, at age 70, he sits in this prison cell, 7.5 by 8 feet, with a sink, a toilet, and a bunk. Bernard Madoff went there last Thursday after being under house arrest in his $7 million penthouse since December.


This, Piper says, is a great demonstration of God's mercy to Madoff and you and me. Read the rest here.
