This short book is loaded with so much truth that you can only stand in AWE over what God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ has done for YOU. For example: if I asked you, who killed Jesus? We may answer, we did our sin did or The Jews did or The Roman soldiers did. It may supprise you that GOD the Father did? It PLEASED HIM to BRUISE HIS SON.Isa. 53:10. GOD had a PLAN to REDEEM His People THROUGH the suffering of His Son. It was to Gods PLEASURE that Jesus paid in full the penalty of our sin, saving us from the wrath of God against sin, in reality God saved us from Himself. How much more can we who belive and have faith apprecialte The suffering and once for all sacrifice of our Lord Jesus becoming Sin for us and crediting to our account His Righteousness.
This is a great book from John Piper. He uses scripture for the reasons why Christ came and died for us and also explainning in his own words. This is must have. It's easy to understand what he is saying and some books I can't always understand but here I can and I want to share each week with my life group each reason and read more often. Bible is the #1 source though. The Passion of Jesus Christ is recommended. The only reason why I didn't give it 5/5 because only the Bible is excellent and worth more than 5/5.
This is indeed one of my all time favorite books. It goes very deeply into the scripture and explains things in a way that makes it easy for anyone to understand. The entire book is scripturally based which was very important to me in knowing that it was not just John's words describing it, but it was also God's word describing it. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about who Jesus Christ was, and why he was crucified on the cross for you.
Excellent!

This is a great little book about a massively important subject. The Apostle Paul said, in relation to ministry in decadent Corinth, "I determined to know nothing among you, except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." John Piper probes into what Jesus Christ crucified means and he does a great job. Read Paul's words, ponder them, feed on them, live them, and let Piper help you.
