“WHAT WOULD JESUS…?”
By: J. Raymond Pecoraro, Wooddale Church of Christ

“WWJD” is a popular slogan that has been circulating for sometime.

We see it on wrist bands, necklaces, placards, signs, and bumper stickers. The WWJD acronym stands for “What Would Jesus Do.”

There are other slogans along this same line such as “How Would Jesus Handle” a certain situation or “What Would Jesus Say” if He made a personal visit to your home. These are great sayings that would help keep us in check when contemplating getting involved in questionable acts.

the Bible is the best source of determining what we should do in our lives. The Bible, given by Inspiration of the Holy Spirit, serves as our guide book. All of life’s questions are answered there and who knows best than our Creator! (Read the following Scriptures: John 16:13; 20:31; I Corinthians 2:10; John 16:7; II Peter 1:20,21).

I found this one in my email that I would like to share with our devotional readers. It could be called “WDJS” which stands for “What Would Jesus See.”It is in the form of a poem and I believe it is worth sharing because it should make one think before acting:

What Would Jesus See? (WWJS - Poem)
(by: BJ Morbitzer)

When Jesus looks upon my life, what picture does He see?
Does He see His own reflection, or does He see just me?

Does He see His likeness, the product of His hand?
Or just another Christian, who never took a stand?

Does He see a child of God, a child that He set free
Living life to honor Him, or does He just see me?

What about the other folks, I meet along the way.
Do I show them Jesus, to brighten up their day?

When someone looks into my eyes, can they truly see
That calm and gentle peace of God that dwells inside of me?

When I reach out and shake a hand, is He right there in my grip?
Can they feel that strength from God that steadies when I slip?

When folks are in my presence, do they know His Spirit’s there?
Can they think He’s the One who guides me everywhere?

when other people think of me, what is on their mind?
do they think of Jesus Christ so gentle and so kind?

I try to be like Jesus, every single day.
Spreading love and kindness all along my way.

I’m afraid that I have failed, I could not pass the test.
Deep inside my heart I know, I haven’t done my best.

I have had to fight my flesh since the day that I was born.
It’s always causing trouble, and being such a thorn.

That’s why His Spirit dwells in me, He’s helping me to learn
In every situation, where I need to turn.

He knew I’d never pass the test, that’s why He took my place.
He gave His life to save my soul, He suffered my disgrace.

Now I try to be like Him, I must present Him well.
So other folks will want His gift and turn their backs on hell.

Other folks should see the joy that Christ has given me.
They should want to have it too, especially since it’s free.

They should begin to ask me, what is it they must do.
Just how it is they go about getting Jesus, too.

Someday when I’m face to face with the Lord who set me free,
Will He see His own reflection or will He just see me?




The Apostle Paul said to his brethren at Philippi, “for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
May we all have this same heart and attitude too!
