If you are like me, you want to read the Bible every day, but you’re not sure where to start. How about with the life of Christ? As Christians, we are called to live like Jesus and that starts with looking at Jesus. I challenge you to take this next year, read through the Gospels verse-by-verse and see how Jesus moves in your life.

Each day…

  1. Slowly read through the given passage. Use your imagination to picture Jesus and the surrounding situation. Immerse yourself in the story.
  2. Reflect on how you can apply the passage to your life and look more like Jesus today.
  3. Pray to Jesus and ask for His grace and strength to follow Him. Be specific about the people and places you will encounter today.
