Do you know the famous tagline, "What Would Jesus Do (WWJD)?" How would your life look if you asked that question before every decision you made? Imagine asking yourself this for literally everything from cereal choices to which college to attend. Of course, we don't have to follow this literally, but we can remember it is a great way to remind ourselves to live like Jesus. It means being selfless, the way Jesus was on the cross. Crucifixion was a terrifying form of torture in the first century. It had a 0% chance of survival rate.
The words Paul wrote to churches were not just hype. He actually did go to prison, was spat on, beaten, and ultimately killed for preaching about Jesus. Like Paul, the life we live should be grounded in how Jesus lived. How do we live like Jesus? Where would Jesus wants us to go? How would Jesus wants us to give to others? Jesus loves us and lived a generous life for us. May we do the same in this holiday season.
What actions will show you've chosen to live for him today?
