Sie wird zum Ziel kommen: Ein begnadigtes und erlöstes Volk wird über seinen herrlichen Gott jubeln und ihn in alle Ewigkeit loben, zur Ehre und Freude Gottes.

Bei Jesu Tod geht es nicht um die Frage nach der Ursache, sondern um den Sinn - Gottes Sinn. John Piper hat aus dem Neuen Testament 50 Gründe gesammelt.

Elle sonde les mystères de l’œuvre de Christ, qui a acquis pour tous les enfants de Dieu le don de la foi. Elle pénètre l’âme humaine, lui permettant d’entrevoir les mystères de l’œuvre accomplie par l’Esprit, alors qu’il obtient la victoire complète sur notre rébellion et fait de nous les captifs volontaires de Jésus, le Roi.
