The School of Christ is intended as a guide to the teachings of Jesus about the challenging process of character transformation. We come to Jesus as imperfect, needy creatures acknowledging our weakness. So just what does he want us to be and become? Just what will a disciple of Jesus look like?

I have always struggled with the practical side of humility. When instructed to be humble, I was never told what to do. “Be humble” doesn’t help much; the verb here is “be,” not “do.” Yet I began to notice that my humility would come in waves. There were times when I could tell that I wasn’t thinking of myself as much—or when I wasn’t as boastful or as competitive with others—and then times when my pride got out of hand. It occurred to me that there were certain behaviors that triggered a deeper sense of humility, usually immediately. Left to my own devices, I became more and more proud until I reached a crisis that revealed my ego. I wanted a way I could regularly refocus on humility.
So I began to collect those actions and experiences that helped me gain flashes of humility. This book puts those things together as a set of humility disciplines. |
