| Résumé : |
The four Gospels are filled with demands straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ. These demands are JesusÔÇÖ way of showing us who he is and what he expects of us. They are not the harsh demands of a taskmaster. For example, the demand that we come to Jesus is like the demand of a father to his child in a burning window, ÔÇ£Jump to me!ÔÇØ Or like the demand of a rich, strong, tender, handsome husband to an unfaithful wife, ÔÇ£Come home!ÔÇØ What Jesus demands from the world can be summed up as: ÔÇ£Trust and treasure me above all.ÔÇØ This is good news! In What Jesus Demands from the World, John Piper has gathered many of JesusÔÇÖ demands from the four Gospels. He begins with an introduction that puts the demands in a redemptive-historical context, then concisely examines each demand. The result is an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as meditative meat for veteran believers who want to know Jesus better. ### Review ÔÇ£The Christian gospel is more than just a wonderful offer of saving grace; it is a demand for supreme loyalty, for surrender to the lordship of Jesus. We forget this too easily in our contemporary church, besieged as we are by a philosophy of pluralism that rejects ultimate authority and a culture of rights that scorns submissiveness. But John Piper reminds us of the real truth: obedience to ChristÔÇÖs commands is our absolute duty; yet, paradoxically, in his service is perfect freedom and joy!ÔÇØ William J. U. Philip, Minister, St GeorgeÔÇÖs-Tron Church, Glasgow, Scotland, UK ÔÇ£John Piper reveals in his ÔÇÿWord to Biblical ScholarsÔÇÖ his familiarity with the literature and subject matter of the life and teachings of Jesus, and in his comments on the individual demands of Jesus he applies them to everyday living.ÔÇØ Robert H. Stein, Senior Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ÔÇ£This is now my favorite book by John Piper. In the best tradition of Adolf SchlatterÔÇÖs Do We Know Jesus? and his ÔÇÿhermeneutic of perception,ÔÇÖ What Jesus Demands from the World has changed my life and will certainly change yours because it is based on the pure words of Jesus as revealed in the four Gospels. A must-read for every true follower of Christ.ÔÇØ Andreas J. K├Âstenberger, Editor, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society; Professor of New Testament and Director of Ph.D. Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary ÔÇ£This book is a special gift from the pen of John Piper. How long has it been since you carefully reflected upon the authoritative commands of Christ? Through these pages you will encounter the Savior and experience the transforming effects of the gospel. Few endeavors are more worthy of your time.ÔÇØ C. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries ### Review ÔÇ£This is now my favorite book by John Piper.

Mahaney****,** Sovereign Grace Ministries ÔÇ£Scholars, popularists, and now even novelists are falling over each other today in a blind passion to discover an alternative Jesus to the One so magnificently portrayed in the biblical Gospels. In stark and refreshing contrast John Piper clear-sightedly grasps the obviousÔÇöthe biblical Jesus is worth living for and dying for.ÔÇØ ÔÇö**Sinclair B. Ferguson**, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina ÔÇ£This is a peculiar book. It assumes that the four Gospels are true and unified. It assumes that Jesus not only does things for us but also makes demands of us. And it assumes that Jesus has authority over everyone regardless of their religion, gender, race, income, sexuality, nationality, or culture. You will likely not agree with every point. But you will hear from a Jesus who is more than a soft-spoken, effeminate, marginalized, Galilean hippie-peasant in a dress and has the peculiar notion that he alone is Lord.ÔÇØ ÔÇö**Mark Driscoll****,** Founding Pastor, Mars Hill Church, Seattle; President, the Resurgence; President, Acts 29 Church Planting Network ÔÇ£The Christian gospel is more than just a wonderful offer of saving grace; it is a demand for supreme loyalty, for surrender to the lordship of Jesus.
