50 Biblical Reasons Why Jesus Died For Us by timy2a: 8:58pm On Mar 30, 2013 |
This year, I've been reading through John Piper’s short book Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die. Piper offers 50 biblical reasons why Jesus died for us. Even a cursory read of the chapter titles can be very inspiring, but the book – which is available as a free PDF – offers two-page explanations of all 50 statements. This Easter, take time to meditate on all Christ accomplished for you through His death and resurrection. May a deeper knowledge, faith and love be yours in Christ Jesus. Christ Suffered and Died… 1. To Absorb the Wrath of God 2. To Please His Heavenly Father 3. To Learn Obedience and Be Perfected 4. To Achieve His Own Resurrection From the Dead 5. To Show the Wealth of God’s Love and Grace for Sinners 6. To Show His Own Love for Us 7. To Cancel the Legal Demands of the Law Against Us 8. To Become a Ransom for Many 9.
