Re:Verse passage – John 16:5-16 (day seven)
But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away. John 16:7
W.W.J.D. took over the 90’s Christian Merch and Book Stores. Everyone had one of these bracelets, and I bet you did too! It was an easy way for us to ask ourselves “What Would Jesus Do?” It was intended to help us apply Jesus to every scenario of our day. It might be easy to poke fun at this trend, but it was a great tool to use for evangelism and personal growth. However, what we may or may not have recognized in the 90’s was that this whole concept has more to do with the Holy Spirit than it does Jesus as a person. It is only possible for us to walk like Jesus because He left us and sent His Spirit to guide us. When we rely on the Holy Spirit in every aspect of our life, it will appear as though we were doing what Jesus did as it makes us more like Him. Us asking “What Would Jesus Do?” is actually a sanctifying encounter with the Holy Spirit.
Maybe we should bring the fad back!
