Matthew7:24
"Therefore whosoever heareth these"
"Sayings of mine and do them"
The phrase "What Would Jesus Do" Has become a trademark saying in today's Christians life. I believe this new phrase would be more meaningful to today's Christians. If we really look and study God's word, we would see that Christ spoke guidance for us to follow. "If ye keep my commands, ye shall abide in my love.; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." (John 15:10-11).
Instead of wondering what Jesus would do! Ask yourself What did Jesus Say. This would be a much better question than "WWJD." Before we chose a course of behavior, making a spiritual decision or holding a belief. "WDJS" What Did Jesus Say.! Well He made promises to those that would follow Him and learn His words. "If ye continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32)
Wondering what Jesus would do, would be like you wondering if you made a right decision after it's made. It would be great if we could do what Jesus done; but we can't. Why? Because Jesus had no sin nature. He was a Holy God. We are saved by grace and washed in the blood of Jesus; but we still have that sin nature in us. Jesus made no promises to us about hopes and our own limited wisdom thoughts or feelings. Just upon the solid rock of Christ's words. "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:; and the rain descended and floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock." (Matthew 7:24-25). Friends let us pray that To our God in Faith and serve Him in Truth. So let's build our house on His Words and place our light that is in us on top and let it shine! AMEN
