John MacArhur’s Memorial Service: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
John Piper said, “God made John MacArthur an extraordinary preacher.” Piper noted that he shared this passion with MacArthur even though these two friends had very different personalities — Piper, more emotional, while MacArthur, more matter-of-fact. This seems to confirm the definition of preaching once given by Phillips Brooks, that preaching is God’s truth mediated through human personality.Out of his preaching discipline, he produced the MacArthur New Testament Commentary series and the MacArthur Study Bible, both of which will shape a generation of pastors. Our duty is to determine the depth of our ministry, God takes care of the breadth.”Representing the family, MacArthur’s oldest son Matt said that behind all this public ministry, “his loudest and longest sermon was how he loved, led and lived behind closed doors.” That is always wonderful to hear from the family of a public person.Despite all these things, the focus of this service was not on these details but on Christ and his Word. The service included lament and rejoicing, beginning with the organ playing Samuel Barber’s haunting "Adagio for Strings." The fantastic Grace Community choir sang "The Lord’s Prayer." Keith and Kristyn Getty led us in songs of hope — “Christus Victor,” “He Will Hold Me Fast,” and “In Christ Alone.” We also sang “Is He Worthy?” Prayers were led by Alistair Begg, and messages from John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Sinclair Ferguson were shared throughout the evening.John Piper reminded us that while John MacArthur loved the Bible, Christian doctrine, and was not shy about contending for the truth, his joy in contending for the truth was eclipsed by and driven by a joy in the God to whom he contended for.When we sang “In Christ Alone,” one verse seemed to pop out.
