Presentation of the gospel
In-depth look at the characteristics of Christ
Seeing and Savoring Jesus ChristBy John Piper Crossway Books 2001 129 pages
How can we know who Christ really is? That question has been pondered through the ages. In his book, John Piper takes readers on a biblical path to discovering the real Jesus. Piper believes that Jesus, as He is revealed in the Bible, has a self-evident glory. Piper challenges the reader to look at the Jesus of the Bible and to be confronted by Who He really is.
In each chapter Piper uses scripture to reveal a specific characteristic of Jesus so that everyday people may understand His deity, power and wisdom. Piper details the desecration, anguish and severity of Christ as well as His excellence, gladness and saving sacrifice.
Pipers goal is to renew a passion in the hearts of believers and awaken unbelievers to the greatness and trueness of Christ. After his in-depth look at Who Christ is, Piper takes the reader through the plan of salvation.
