What Jesus Did

This book is very important, very challenging, and very needed.

Here's a sampling:


“At just the right time and in just the right place, God comes to His people. But he doesn’t come as the great Judge,  purging the Promised Land of foreigners and reestablishing David’s throne in Jerusalem. He first comes as the suffering servant.
In the Person of Jesus Christ, God himself comes to renew the world and restore His people. The grand narrative of Scripture climaxes with the death and resurrection of Jesus. By submitting Himself to His Father’s will, even to the point of dying on the cross, Jesus undoes the curse of Adam. This Messiah–King takes upon Himself the punishment for human sin. His atoning sacrifice reconciles us to God, inaugurates his kingdom, and becomes the means by which we are remade into God’s image. Jesus fulfills —  through His perfect life of obedience, death in the place of sinners, and resurrection to new life —  all that is necessary for God’s rescue plan to be put into motion.”
