While I was supposed to be writing my essay last week, I flipped through a copy of John Dickson's booklet, Jesus: a primer for the curious. After highlighting a number of Jesus' different roles (which were excellent - straight from Luke's gospel), he finishes with 'Portrait of a Christian'. This page provides an idea of what it looks like to follow Jesus, and particularly how to start following him.
It was so refreshing to see the Lord's prayer presented here as a first prayer - surprisingly (now that I stop to reflect), I haven't ever seen that before in a tract. It's such a biblical way to start - not an odd 'first prayer' that only confesses sin, but to start with so many themes that Jesus presents as important!
Yes! And I love this tract—the best I've ever seen, because it focuses squarely on Jesus instead of "how to get saved".
