What Would Jesus Do?

What Would Jesus Do? Through the years this question has been used for all different sorts of things. For example: When I was younger we had a little stuffed bear. He had a red sweater and in white letters it said W.W.J.D. Everytime you pushed his hand he said," What would Jesus do"? I found this bear and this question quite annoying. Not that I didn't want to think about what Jesus would do, but after the little bear's batteries had been run out because of how many times my younger siblings had pushed his hand I was sick and tired of W.W.J.D. and the question What Would Jesus Do. Other examples of this question are bracelets, t-shirts, banners, and who knows what else. Probably a lot of christians today could agree with me in saying that the question takes on a new tone when it is worn out. To me when a question, statement, joke or anything really, gets worn out you don't really realize the meaning or the message. You only notice how annoying it is, or how sick you are of hearing it. I must confess that I had taken on the attitude of "I am so sick of that question". I wish they could come up with some thing else that doesn't make people say, do you know how many times I have heard that. I didn't like the question and I guess hadn't really thought about the meaning until recently. My pastor (also known as my daddy!) preached a sermon that had this question, What Would Jesus Do? For some reason when he said it or the way he phrased the question had me thinking....What an awesome question! I thought if only every time or for that matter all the time we thought what would Jesus do and actually did it...I think that life would be a little different. I think our country would be different. I think our world be different. Now I know what you are thinking..well that is obvious! I mean who wouldn't know that already. That is very true. You also might be thinking, well there is nothing we can do now...someone back who knows how long ago dropped the ball on thinking what would Jesus do. That is also true. But is it not also true that we, the children of God, are to be reflecting God's glory and light to others? That we are to be a light in darkness? That we, each one of us, is to have a personnel relationship with God? I think that if we did ask ourselves this question (as much as it may be over used for decorations and be a tad annoying) as often as we possibly can and actually did what Jesus would do....we could and would reflect God's glory and light. We would be a light in darkness. We would be able to have a personal relationship with God. Although to be able to discern what Jesus would do you already need to have a relationship with Him, but there is no limit to how close you can get to God. There is no limit to how often you are talking and walking with Him. There is no limit to how well you know him! That is a Great thing about your relationship with Him! You can never stop learning about him, but believe me you can go back....you can get less and less fellowhip with him and have less and less time with him. So this entry on my blog was just my thought of a question, that annoys me as much as anyone, but one that is an awesome, amazing, question! So I ask you, will you do what Jesus would do?
