Allow me to share with you what I think the whole of the Christian life comes down to. I’ll put in into three steps.
First, read about Jesus — his life, his teaching, his death, and his resurrection.
Second, fix your eyes on him. By that I mean, practice thinking about him in terms of what you’re reading. Meditate on it.
Third, expect him to help you become his follower and friend. That means practice listening for what he would have you think, pray, do, or say, day by day and act on it.
