What will I do?
WWJD ? (what will Jesus do?)
what will Jesus do in every situation?
---think about this for a moment. if Jesus were in your place. If Jesus were in Choa Chu Kang Secondary, if He were in SJI, MGS, or Kranji Secondary, wearing a uniform, carrying a bag. or if Jesus were a business man, wearing a suit, and carrying a suitcase. or if Jesus were a average Singaporean in the streets, what will He do in everything?
as YOU READ, you should think through, and put urself into the situation
1.WWJD if there is an old lady, pregnant lady, mother with kids on the bus/train/bus stop/food court?
2.WWJD if His friends started to talk dirty, talk vulgar?
3.WWJD if people started to talk rubbish about our God in a public place?
4.WWJD if your friends start to challenge your faith? will you keep quiet and smile sheepishly? or will you defend ur faith intelligently and gently?
5.WWJD if He sees injustice being done on the streets?
6.WWJD if His family members told Him to bow before statues and idols?
7.WWJD if His family members forcefully forbid Him to go church?
8.WWJD if His friends are beside Him and have nothing better to talk about?
9.WWJD if His grandparents are dying in the bed?
10.WWJD if someone asks Him to go into a boy-ger relationship?
11.WWJD if someone challenges Him to put a ear stud on? or a ear ring.
12.WWJD if someone hands Him a teenage magazine and encourage strongly that He reads it?
13.WWJD if He sees a boy on the bus and He is prompted to share the Gospel?
14.WWJD if He hears friends gossiping about another "outcaste" in class?
15.WWJD if His teacher scolded Him for something He did not do?
16.WWJD if He had alot of homework and His friends asked Him to go swim or play soccer?
17.WWJD if He had to choose between Church and A PARTY, or a friends'gathering?
18.WWJD if He is offered a cigarette?
19.WWJD if He sees HIS best friend (disciple John) doing something wrong?
20.WWJD if an ex-christian/backslidden christian in His class starts to joke about God and starts to bring a BAD NAME to Christianity?
21.WWJD if overnight He lost His family, money, health and everything He had?
if only you (yes you) would ask urself WHAT WILL JESUS DO in YOUR situation? then you will know that it is very clear cut. there are no grey areas. only black and white. choose the right one.
if Jesus will reject a cigarette, if Jesus will correct His best friend for doing something wrong, if Jesus will choose Church over other activities, if Jesus WILL NOT bow to pressure from friends or bow down to idols..... then
WHAT WILL YOU DO in every situation of ur life?
Ephesians4:13 - ...until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:7 - For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
Colossians 3:1-2 - Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Philippians 2:5 - Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 10:5 - We demolish arguments and every pretension (proudness/fakeness) that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
I cannot stress more than to tell you that living for Jesus Christ is A LIFESTYLE. It is your life, dedicated to Him, not a religion, not a feel-good thing.
Everywhere we walk, we should be thinking Jesus"ly". Everything we do, we should be doing it Jesus"ly".
be more like Christ as we perservere on towards the goal.
do what Jesus will do today. Love Him.
