turning our back on everything within us that makes us feel we are something when we are actually nothing, and turning our whole life over to Christ that he may live his own life in us through the Holy Spirit. It is an absolute abandonment of all our ideas, plans, ambitions, methods, possessions—everything that we are and have, that Christ may from henceforth be within us all he requires us to be, and do through us all he requires us to do. It is literally to die to ourselves that he may live within us. This is the life through which Christ can reach the lost.

Now some reader is asking, How can one enter upon such a wonderful life as this? We will therefore seek the answer.

The Method of Entering the Crucified Life

Christ said to his disciples, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). He says the same thing to us with added spiritual emphasis. We are to follow him all the way to the cross in order to become fishers of men. “It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master” (Matthew 10:25). He blazed the path, he set the pattern, and he himself is the power to follow.

We shall think first of following Christ to the cross, and then of fellowshipping with him in the cross.
