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.***
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

Jesus said in John 17:3: """"And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. """". The way for us to know God is through His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, and this book will help you do that. John Piper faithfully expounds the scriptures to portray a picture of Jesus Christ. I've read this book twice, and each time I read it, I become more and more amazed of my Saviour.

A great Christ-exalting read
In the introduction to this book, Piper says:\\r\\n\\r\\nWhen I speak of seeing Jesus Christ, I don't mean seeing with the eyes of your head, but the eyes of your heart. . . . When we see with our spiritual eyes, we see the truth and beauty and value of Jesus Christ for what they really are. Thus a blind person today may see Christ more clearly than many who have eyes. \\r\\n\\r\\nEveryone can read the stories of Jesus and """"see"""" the portraits painted by the words of those who knew him. But not everyone sees truth and beauty and infinite value. Some see only myth. Some see foolishness. Some see offense. """"Seeing they do not see. """" . . . \\r\\n\\r\\nSavoring Jesus Christ is the response to this second spiritual kind of seeing. When you see something as true and beautiful and valuable, you savor it. That is, you treasure it. You cherish and admire and prize it. Spiritual seeing and spiritual savoring are so closely connected that it would be fair to say: If you don't savor Christ, you haven't seen Christ for who he is. If you don't prize him above all things, you haven't apprehended his true worth. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe aim of this book is to help you see and savor Christ. \\r\\n\\r\\nI just read chapter 4 about Jesus' joy. It was a 4. 5 page meditation on how Jesus is joyful, rejoices, pursued joy, and gives us his joy. This is fantastic and amazing because his joy is indestructible despite being concomitant with suffering (his and ours and others'). We can think Jesus was…

Come see and savor
Whether you are searching for who Jesus is or simply wanting to grow in and savor our awesome Saviour Jesus Christ, this book would be well worth the read. I'm not a big reader but I turned this book around in 48 hours. It is saturated in scripture and clear in its explanations.
