Article Excerpt:

by John Piper.

This book is right up my alley. Back in my early blogging days I did a series of posts on the reasons for Christ’s death given to us in scripture. In a final summary post, I wrote this:

We have looked at only the explicit purpose statements [for Christ’s death] …. Any result of Christ’s death listed in scripture, however, is also an intended purpose of Christ’s death, and an important purpose of Christ’s death. God has the power and wisdom to do things so that only exactly what He wishes is accomplished—so that there are no unintended or tertiary results from anything God does.

What John Piper has done in this book is do all the extra work that I didn’t do when I looked at the purposes of Christ’s death. He’s taken fifty of the results of Christ’s death and listed them for us as fifty reasons why Jesus came to die.
