What WOULD Jesus do?

Several years back, lots of us wore "WWJD" bracelets to remind us of the question - "What Would Jesus Do?" The point, of course, was to make us mindful of the life of Christ and help us to be more Christ-like in our everyday lives. I've thought about that more than a few times. It seems to me that the best indicator of what someone is likely to do is their history - what they've done in the past. If someone has been a habitual liar, for example, then that person is likely to lie when questioned about something that may call for a little "behind covering," so to speak. Likewise, a theif is likely to steal, and a murderer is likely to kill. When we apply this logic to Jesus and ask instead, "What Did Jesus Do?" we find that the bracelet was not misplaced. Jesus DID forgive those who persecuted Him "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do;" He DID give to those in need; he DID pray, and that often; He DID treat others as He wished to be treated, and He DID keep the commandments of God! I submit, therefore, that the better question, or perhaps the more pertinent question, is no "What Would Jesus Do?", but "What Did Jesus Do?", and it would behoove us all to follow His example as He gives us strength to do so. - Dan
