WWJD: What Would Jesus Do?

Tweet

Before proceeding to write about a topic for discussion, I usually browse my interests first and see if anyone has added on an interest that is similar to mine. I have around 80 interests and I'm just not so sure how many of those list only me as the person with such interest. I'm glad you clicked on this topic and in spite of the word "interest" being mentioned for four times, you're still interested to proceed and have reached this point in the bush. Ok, so I won't beat around the bush -- or the bush itself -- any further. ;') So, WWJD. What would Jesus do? I think that foremost to being Christlike is asking ourselves that question. How many of us here in myLot believe that Jesus was man-incarnate, that He has been sent by God so that we may live through Him? I see some hands raised, thank you. God loved the world -- His creation -- so much, that He sent Jesus to show us how it is to be fully human YET do not sin. When Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and the wilderness, Satan taunted and tempted him several times yet He did not succumb because He drew strength from His Father and used God's Word as ammunition against the devil. I am a growing Christian and I must say that I regret having rebelled after I graduated from college way back 1997. It took almost a decade for me to realize that things could have gone better for me if only I've been obedient and dependent upon God for courage and direction. What would Jesus do? Part of my struggles of being Christian is being a living witness of God's love -- even to the unlovable. Now that's something that isn't really easy on my own that's why I am glad that last 2004, through the Purpose-Driven Life, I went back on the right track and learned to appreciate the wisdom found in the Bible. I have come to know more about God and how it is to live to please Him and not myself or other people. What would Jesus do? Have a heart of compassion; a mind that's open to rebuke; ears that listen to others' opinion; eyes that see the good in others and the silver lining behind the dark clouds; lips that speak only of what will encourage and of truth that, even when it hurts, is for the good of the party/ies concerned; hands that heal with gentleness; a body that dresses not to entice or seduce and moves only appropriately; and feet that trod where God so wills it. It isn't an easy task but in living each day as it comes and "letting tomorrow worry for itself," I have learned -- and am still learning -- how to live a Christian lifestyle.
