The problem is that most people do not understand what "contemplation of the life of Jesus" means. They think it is a convenient vaporous expression to speak in vague and general terms about the Christian life but not representing something very specific.
Ellen White explained it like this,
"It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross"
Desire of Ages, page 83.
That's enough for me.
