This book is an attempt to give some insights into the spirituality
of the New Testament and outlines from the same scripture on how to
follow Christ. I try to cover who Christ is, his basic teachings,
and how he understood his teaching as applied to the individual
Christian: what does it mean to follow Christ in each of the
salient points in the life of Christ? Who is Christ? What really
did he mean? Why did he come? In what ways does he speak? What is
the meaning of the pascal mystery and how does it apply to each one
of us? What does Christ's death and resurrection mean for each one
of us? What does it even mean to follow Christ? What of the
difficulties in Christ? Is all this even possible in our own lives
and how? What are the obstacles for us in following Christ such as
anger, violence, hatred, love of enemies, the demands of the
gospels, etc? These many topics are covered. This is a devotional
book based squarely on the life of Christ in the New Testament
which comes down to us from the primitive Christian community and
embodied in these sacred writings. The book is comparatively short
as are its chapters. But the teaching in each chapter is compact
and insightful into the kind of spiritual life Christ calls his
disciples to follow. As Saint Paul put it, "Be imitators of me as I
am of Jesus Christ." This kind of spirituality I want to
communicate and share with my readers. This imitation of Christ is
what spiritual life is for the Christian and the summation of his
life.
