Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came To Die

If you have nothing to do during this Easter weekend, I suggest you to read a book titled Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came To Die by John Piper. The book helps me to understand more about the reasons why Jesus came to die. It helps me to see clearly that Jesus' sacrifice is very expensive.
