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.
The
central issue of Jesus' death is not the cause, but the meaning. That
is what this book is about. John Piper has gathered from the New
Testament fifty reasons 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?
