Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ

John Piper

Paperback 2004-06-14

How can we know who Christ really is? That question has been pondered through the ages. Yet the answer is simply that Jesus, as He is revealed through God's Word, has a glory - an excellence, a spiritual beauty - that speaks to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It is like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing it is sweet. There is no more important issue in life than seeing Jesus for who He really is, and savouring Him above all else. Let this book be your companion as you discover Him.

In 13 poignant chapters, using Scripture and spiritual insight, Pastor John Piper unveils the glory of Christ through the person of Christ so that everyday people may understand Jesus' deity, power and wisdom. Piper details not only the anguish, the desecration and the severity of Jesus, but also His excellence, His gladness and His mercy so that all may be drawn to the Lord in a new way. This accessible volume can awaken unbelievers to the greatness and trueness of Christ and sweeten any Christian's view of the Lord's character, moving them to greater passion and worship.

Publisher Description

Who is Jesus Christ? ?You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ--the divine Person revealed in the Bible--has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. ?The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. ?Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. ?John Piper has wr
