What would Jesus do? That's it...that is the wrong question. The braclets, the bumper stickers, the t-shirts, (add in any trinket here) they are all wrong in my opinion. Asking that question only helps us for that moment that we need guidance or direction, then it's over and we don't need Jesus till next time we have an issue.
So what is the right question? So glad you asked...
What did Jesus do?
I know it's similiar. I know it's one word difference, but it makes a huge difference. As I'm getting ready for our next Revolution preaching series "Ripened: The Spiritual Disciplines" I'm realizing that if we would do what Jesus did then when we have an issue or questionable call to make it would be easy. A few examples...
Jesus practiced solitude...
Jesus fasted for a month and a half...
Jesus served the disciples and those in need...
If we would do what Jesus did...pray...fast...serve...love...practice solitude...then the "what would Jesus do?" questions would be null and void. Because we would know what He would do.
Simply a rambling in my brain the last 24 hours..but thought I'd share it.
Read the Gospels again and see what He did and do it.
