WWJD....

I found the above picture of Jesus in heaven here and on the park bench here. I have no idea as to copyright status...please inform me if you know so that I can correctly cite and credit these two. Thanks!

What would Jesus do? Sometimes, it can be difficult to imagine....Jesus never lost his iPod, Jesus never went to a 21st century high school, Jesus didn't own a car, Jesus never watched TV.

But with a little thought, those issues simply become expressions of timeless concepts to which WWJD can be applied.

Today, I'm going to write about "How would Jesus treat people?"

Do you see the picture, above? I can just see Jesus, the Son of God - Holy God, who spoke with Moses and guided Daniel, who protected David and Shadrack, Meshack, and Abendago, who created the entire universe, who created each of the trillions of people who have ever lived on the earth and who loves every one of the billions of people on earth, who has angels worshipping Him 24/7 - sitting and listening to one boy in the park. Just listening for awhile; then, offering advice and comfort. Genuinely caring.

Here's a thought to chew on: Jesus died for everyone. You know the graphic, horrible description of Jesus' last hours on earth. You know He did that for you. You know He would have done that if you were the only person on earth. You know He did that because He loves you.

Well, Jesus also did that for the kid who sits alone at lunch. Think about that for a second: Jesus died for the kid that sits alone at lunch. Because He loves that kid. He would have done it if that kid was the only person on earth. If that kid matters so much to Jesus, shouldn't that kid matter to us as well?

Jesus died to save the nerd in class who doesn't get a clue. He died to save the uncool. He died to save the lonely. He died to save the goths and the emos and the punks. He died to save the special needs kids. He died to save the rich kids and the poor kids. He died to save your siblings, your parents, and all your relatives. He died to save your best friend, and He died to save your enemy.


Jesus died for EVERYONE. Keep that in mind. Not just when you're around your friends; not just when you're at school; keep it in mind all the time. Because Jesus died for the people crossing at the intersection; Jesus died for the people shopping at the grocery store; Jesus died for the landscapers clipping the grass; Jesus died for everyone.
