DoesThe World Truly Want to Know WWJD?

For some years now a popular little question has been floating around.  The question is WWJD -- What Would Jesus Do? People wear it on T-shirts, pins, bracelets and any other thing that displays what they want to ask.

Well actually, the question was answered years ago by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippians. I would like to share this part of his answer. 

1 If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care - 2 then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. 3 Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. 4 Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. 5 Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. 6 He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. 7 Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! 8 Having become human, he stayed human. It was a incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death - and the worst kind of death at that: a crucifixion.(Phil. 2:1-8 The Message)

Now, with the question before us again this morning: What would Jesus do?

And, with those words we Just read from Philippians fresh in our minds; do we really want to know what and how Jesus did it?  Honestly, do we really want to know? And, do we actually want to do life Jesus’ way?  Be honest! 

Because it is ‘an incredibly humbling process...’ living ‘a selfless, obedient life’.  That is what Jesus did!  And that is what he asks of us!

Any thoughts or comments about how we are doing with Jesus’ request?
