Once upon a time, a mother made her son a wristband. On it was written: WWJD? The phrase “What would Jesus do?” (often abbreviated to WWJD) became popular in the United States in the 1990s and as a personal motto for adherents of Evangelical Christianity who used the phrase as a reminder of their belief in a moral imperative to act in a manner that would demonstrate the love of Jesus through the actions of the adherents.
The WWJD movement started in 1989 when the youth group at Calvary Reformed Church in Holland, Michigan, studied Charles Sheldon’s 1896 novel, In His Steps.
But the message of wwjd should not be taken for granted due to overexposure. As simple as it seems, sometimes the question—What would Jesus do?—still leaves people wondering. However, its not hard when ones considers that Jesus said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. #Love

Beyond the fad
“What would Jesus do?” is an irrelevant question for many people because they don’t know who Jesus is. Before we can ask the question “What would Jesus do?” we must ask ourselves whether we know Jesus. Knowing Jesus begins with reading about His life, teachings and claims in the Bible.
So what would Jesus do? He would seek the Father for the strength and wisdom to embrace, restore, confront, teach, serve, and equip the people around him.
These phrase should drive us back to the gospels to take a fresh look at how Jesus lived. The fad phase of WWJD may be over, but we need to hold on to the phrase even whiles posting images on Godinterest and keep asking ourselves—What would Jesus do? It’s a great question. But remember: If you’re not sure what Jesus actually did in his life, then you’re just guessing at what he might do in yours.

Knowing Jesus and knowing God.
How can we truly know them without constant study of the bible. That is the most important reason for study–knowing God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit.

“In His Steps”, with its motivating Scripture, I Peter 2:21, is my second favorite book, second only to the Bible. The apostle Paul also shares this motivation (Philippians 1:21, I Corinthians 11:1). I believe we can only truly imitate Christ when He dwells in our lives as Lord and King, and when we are empowered by the Spirit of God. The result is personal joy and glory to God.
Regarding the soldiers: Jesus would not force them to pray – he would confront them with a problem too big for them to solve, and then give them the strength to solve it.
Love does not force things to comply. It helps them to manifest their greatness. That was the experience of the Apostles.
So asking “What Would Jesus Do” is one thing – acting as though you are Jesus when you don’t have the powers of Christ is quite another. Force is something used by people that imagine Jesus with their own limitations. It’s a form of hubris to say “Well, if Jesus had my limitations, what would he do?”, and then to force other people to live accordingly.

Do you believe in what God will do from this presidential Election
So eloquently put. This is the question. We need to look deeply within ourselves and in the Bible when asking the question. It’s a GREAT movement, however it is easy to get caught up in all of the hype. I’m sure whoever started it was looking to inspire others to follow God’s lead. I am filled with gratitude that you began following my blog. That’s how I found you, thank you for your inspiration!
I found a surprising amount of information on how Jesus – and the disciples lived when researching my (fictional) book series based on fact. It helped me to ‘grow’ in understanding, just writing them. (On book 3 at the moment.)
it should be what DID Jesus do?

I think you are correct in trying to show that for Jesus, his life was not about himself but that he was sent to be a signpost to what God wants for us.
One has to know Jesus not just know about Jesus. Then and only the can one be able to answer the WWJD in any situation
Thanks for your feedback. God Bless

Very sweet post. It’s good to think about WWJD.
Wonderful post! ♡
Perhaps an even equally important question we should always ask ourselves in any situation or any thought in our mind, “How would the Holy Spirit have me perceive this?”
