A Month of Studying and Encountering Jesus

 



                                                                            (Cancun)

For decades, before Easter weekend, I take a month to focus my reading and praying times on Jesus. I do the same a month before Christmas. 

Today is one month before Easter. So, here I go again!

Today I am reviewing portions of Gordon Fee's Pauline Christology: An Exegetical-Theological Study. There's no better guide into the depths of Christology, for me, than Fee. This book is, as I. Howard Marshall says, a "gripping account of Paul's high Christology." 

Plus, I've begun another time through the four Gospels. 

The goal is my ongoing transformation into Christlikeness. 

The fist worship song I ever wrote, in 1971, was about this. I called it "More Like You." I am thankful to say, today, decades later, this desire has only intensified in me.

I have not yet arrived, but I am pressing on to make this my own.
