The most important questions anyone can ask are: Why was
Jesus Christ crucified? Why did he suffer so much? What has this to do with me?
Finally, who sent him to his death? The answer to the last question is that God
did. Jesus was God? s Son. The suffering was unsurpassed, but the whole message
of the Bible leads to this answer.
Why did Christ suffer and die? The central issue of Jesus?
death is not the cause, but the meaning?God? s meaning. That is what this book
is about. John Piper has gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons. Not
fifty causes, but fifty purposes?in answer to the most important question that
each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his
Son to die? |
