Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die

By: John Piper

Narrated by: Robertson Dean

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 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?

Good Reminders

This book is an excellent book to read at any time, but particularly at Easter. It is a wonderful reminder of what Jesus accomplished and why he gave his life. I listen to this book every year. My heart overflows with joy on resurrection Sunday!

Good little book about Jesus' death and it's significance for us.

I enjoyed listening to this book. 50 quick points about why Jesus came to sacrifice Himself to us and how that is significant to us. There were several things in here I haven't thought very hard about and I will meditate on them. I also liked the prayer at the end. Worth the time to listen/read.
