What would Jesus do? I remember before I became a Christian, the popularity of this expression in the 1990s. Admittedly, I have asked myself this question in a moral dillemma. After all, it seems reasonable for a follower of Jesus to want to live like Jesus. (What a concept right?)
Oh and in case you are wondering… that expression is not a new idea from the 1990s, try the 1890s, from Charles Monroe Sheldon’s book, “In His Steps:”What Would Jesus Do?” Hip huh?
I found a man I admire. One pastor in Michigan decided to really focus on what Jesus would do and decided to live like him for a year. Read here.
I admire this man for taking a first century Jewish approach. For going the extra mile. I know I couldn’t do it…

I don’t know, it sounds like he missed the point at some parts. And now I’m worried about “A Year of Living Biblically”…our church is doing the workbook this year and I thought it was about delving deeper into the Scripture, but it sounds more like something that forgets that in Christ there is fulfillment of the Law. Will let you know what it’s like as the pastor bought copies for the staff out of his own pocket (and thus I feel more than obligated to participate.)
