Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die
John Piper
WHY?  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 sdeath? 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.  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?
