Father was a more glorious victory than mere annihilation of the enemy. (Piper, 2004, p. 79).
The writer concludes with a focus on the Resurrection and the Second Coming of Christ.
Tremendous divine power preceded, accompanied, and followed the resurrection of Jesus. All
that Christ promised to believers hinges on the reality and power of His resurrection. We need
to cry out, Give us a brokenhearted boldness in the mercy and the might of Jesus (Piper,
2004, p 109).
The Strength of the Book
Each chapter analyzes a different attribute of Christ, and John Piper's hope for the book
has been fulfilled because reading these thirteen chapters has been like viewing a diamond
through thirteen different facets, which of course, Christ is the diamond. This is the strength
of the book that will in fact help us to see and savor Christ more, for He is worthy of it. In
Chapter 10 exalts one of his attributes; the Mercy of Jesus Christ the glory of Gods
mercy is the aim of Christs coming. This is explicit in Romans 15:8-9: Christ came into the
world to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might
glorify God for his mercy. The aim of the incarnation was to magnify the mercy of God for
the enjoyment of the nations. (Piper, 2004, p. 85).
The weakness of the Book
I read the book in two afternoons, and it was so easy for me to understand everything in
what the writer tried to transmit, so I dont have anything to say about the weakness of this
book, all its ideas were easy to assimilate.
