If you want to know Jesus you do not need to go to seminary or embark on a tour of the Holy Land. All you need to do is to read the gospels with an open heart.

Jesus Christ is a person. He is not a legend. He is not a placebo for the guilty human conscience. Nor is he a projection of man's desire for immortality. Jesus Christ is who he claimed to be: God the Son. Therefore, he is not to be ignored. Nothing is more important in life than seeing the real Jesus, and savoring him above all else. In 13 Scripture-soaked chapters, John Piper marvels at Jesus Christ: his excellence and desecration; gladness and anguish; wisdom and power; mercy and severity; death and resurrection. Piper explains that if we see the real Jesus, we will delight in him as true and beautiful and satisfying. The result is that Christ is honored, our deep longing for joy is satisfied, and we are freed to walk the narrow way of love. Each chapter ends with a Christ-centered prayer. Our hope is that this book will be used to introduce unbelievers to Christ. Piper begins by asking, "How can we be sure about Jesus?" and ends with a presentation of the gospel: "Getting right with God through Jesus Christ." We also pray it will enhance your ability to see the beauty and supremacy of Jesus Christ.
