Origin of DA Carson quote
I am trying to find this quote. "You are not suffering from anything that a good resurrection can't fix." Dr. D.A. Carson said per a quote in a sermon I heard. I tried to search for it in Logos but could not find it. Any takers on its origin?

Hi Christian,
If your library has his sermons, try searching for this instead: "I'm not suffering from anything that a good resurrection can't fix." He's actually quoting a friend of his and expresses it in the first person.
Shalom,

I have a friend in Australia. He’s an old man now, suffering from all kinds of bodily decrepitude as he approaches the last day himself. His mind is still sharp, but the poor chap is suffering from so many things I doubt I could even remember them all. If you ask him, “Frank, how’s it going?” he says, “I’m not suffering from anything a good resurrection can’t fix.” Of course, in one sense, that’s not escapism; that’s merely basic Christianity.
Carson, D. A. 2016. “How Can a Good God Allow Suffering?” In D. A. Carson Sermon Library, Lk 13:1–5. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife.

Thanks everyone. I do not have the sermon in Logos. Does anyone know where I can get the audio or video and transcript of the full sermon?

Have you tried Google? Google should be your first try before asking where I can find XYZ here. In fact, it was quite easy to find. I just googled the title of the sermon (in quotation marks) with "D. A. Carson" and "sermon" as added search terms (also in quotation marks, to force all the terms to be included in the search).
