The Passion of Jesus Christ – 50 Reasons why he came to die

The life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most profound, and centre point moment of all human history. An overexaggerated claim? No, not at all. For it is the time when God showed Himself, the great and holy creator stepped into time, in his great and wonderful love and made the way to save a doomed race.

Over the course of this week, otherwise known as “Holy Week”, I am going to post some reflections on a little free e-book ‘The Passion of Jesus Christ – 50 Reasons why he came to die’ by Pastor John Piper of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the US.

Each day will consist of a quick fire, note taking review and exploration of 10 chapters or reasons.

10 a day = 50! – as if you didn’t already know that!

The book can be found here to download as a PDF for free. Each chapter, or ‘reason’, is about 2 pages long, so it’s something very digestible, yet it contains the profound truths of the reasons why, 2000 years ago, on a hill just outside of modern-day Jerusalem, the Son of God died to reconcile men and women to God.

I strongly recommend you to take a look, as my posts may not make proper sense sometimes but reading what I am reading will help; but of course if you have any questions please, please, please feel free to leave a (wholesome) comment or email me at pjmthethird@gmail.com and I will get back to you.

God bless you

Happy to help!

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
(Romans 5:6-9 ESV)
