Publisher's Synopsis
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 death? The answer to the last question is God did. Jesus was God's son.The suffering was unsurpassed, but the whole message of the Bible leads to the answer. The central issue with Jesus death is not the cause, but the meaning, God's meaning. This is what the 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 each one of us face. What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending His Son to die?
