WHY?
The most important questions anyone can ask are: Why was JesusChrist crucified? Why did he suffer so much? What has this to dowith me? Finally, who sent him to his sdeath? The answer to thelast question is that God did. Jesus was God's Son. The sufferingwas unsurpassed, but the whole message of the Bible leads to thisanswer.
The central issue of Jesus' death is not the cause, but themeaning-God's meaning. That is what this book is about. John Piperhas gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons. Not fiftycauses, but fifty purposes-in answer to the most important questionthat each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like usin sending his Son to die?
