Dear Son,
Live Jesus! Let Him live through you as you pursue the growth and glory of His kingdom. Proclaim His name to all the “nations” wherever God places you. Let the gospel be the primary emphasis of your life. The message of the cross has saved you; let it continue to save you so that you can share the Jesus-gospel with integrity.
Live Jesus! Let His person, His ministry, His word command your attention and capture your heart. Love God passionately and practically.
Live Jesus! Let your life become a transparent conduit transferring His cross-love for you to other objects of His love—that is the people in your family, your neighborhood, your workplace, and ministry.
Live Jesus! Live with and for Jesus with courageous hope, growing faith, and an ever-deepening humble dependence on the Spirit of God, the Word of God, and the people of God. Without these the fruit of your life with wither and you will die. But, with them you will live, and live abundantly, both now and forever.
Your father in the faith (who is still learning to live),
Tom Hocking
