Synopsis

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 written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

This was almost a three star book, but not because it wasn't good. In fact, it might have been almost five star if I didn't read it all in one sitting between ten and midnight. That being said, this book isn't what I expected. I was looking for more Seeking and Savoring, but Piper offered more Jesus......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on March 06, 2017

"In the middle of the last century the British writer C. S. Lewis got it shockingly right: 'A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic... or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You can shut Him up for a fool, you......more

Goodreads review by Ben on April 19, 2017

In classic Piper fashion, this short treatise lays out the groundwork from the Scriptures, the many ways we ought to find ourselves in awe of the magnificence of the Lord Jesus Christ. I really hope to revisit this once a year for the rest of my time, this side of eternity. "Seeing and Savoring Jesu......more
