Sin is like a contagious disease. My children don’t suffer because I have it. They catch it from me and then suffer because they have it.1”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kasey Van Norman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kasey-van-norman/john-piper-has-a-powerful-way-of-bringing-this-concept-home-when-god/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/372/kasey-van-norman-39469_children_john-piper-has-a-powerful-way-of-bringin_1717477.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/372/kasey-van-norman-39469_children_john-piper-has-a-powerful-way-of-bringin_1717477.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/372/kasey-van-norman-39469_children_john-piper-has-a-powerful-way-of-bringin_1717477.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“John Piper has a powerful way of bringing this concept home: When God visits the sins of the fathers on the…” — Kasey Van Norman", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/john-piper/kasey-van-norman/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/john-piper/kasey-van-norman/", "name": "John Piper Quotes by Kasey Van Norman", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/john-piper/kasey-van-norman/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/372/kasey-van-norman-39469_children_john-piper-has-a-powerful-way-of-bringin_1717477.jpg" }, "description": "1 John Piper quotes by Kasey Van Norman.
