If Jesus was tangibly with us for an entire week, what would he be doing? Where would he hang out? Who would talk to?
He asked the theological question simply, flatly. While other students lingered philosophically in their cerebral labyrinth, I printed neat bullet points and lists of what Jesus of Nazareth would do while staying with my in my new apartment in Orange County.
- Jesus would visit my new neighbors and introduce himself with fresh manna and Jesus juice.
- Jesus would hang out with the day-laborers who wait desperately on Santa Ana street corners.
- Jesus would give out hope and pray for miracles.
While decorating my notes and color-coding my answers, I was paralyzed by the simplicity of the question—then dumbfounded as to why I wasn’t doing what Jesus would be doing. If I could do want he could do, why wasn’t I doing it?
So the question remains: If Jesus were here, what would he be doing? Furthermore, why aren’t we doing the same?
TRUTH! 🙂
Amen! And that's a lot of post it notes!
First, the color-coding massive-number-of-post-its really kind of scared me. (ha)
Second, I have sooooo been thinking about this, along somewhat different lines. I've been trying to get past the frustration before posting about it but am pretty close to just putting it out there anyway. Maybe. We'll see. 😉
Yeah. Just shifted around the blog schedule. It's kind of rant-y. It's WAY more than 100 words (ha). And I'll probably get hate mail. But (gasp) here we go.
And then I'll say "Bianca inspired me" (HA! Kidding!)
I feel very convited! If Jesus was here I’d fall on my face in shame for my lack of symphaty towards others, my lack of being content with what He’s given me, and absolute lack of love.
Why am I not doing what He would do? Because I’m lazy! Please pray for me.
I repent Lord, change me
I had a revelation of sorts last night about kinda the same thing. More of a how would Jesus treat people type of thing. In my fleshly mind of judgement I found myself being totally judgmental of people attending last night's Bible study at my church. It was really terrible and I had to check myself more than once by asking – "How would Jesus see this person? Why do you think you know oh so much more about the Bible than this person? You can't even fully quote scripture." I honestly still can't believe the thoughts that were going through my mind. I was really sad for myself because I found that although I've been reading God's word, I haven't been fully living it when it comes to being compassionate, loving, and openly giving toward others. God always reveals what He wants us to see in ourselves, and last night I saw how truly ungodly my internal thoughts can be and how I have not arrived and am not holier than thou. It's good to be checked and humbled. I was totally check and humbled last night. This message reiterates what I learned last night! Thank you for sharing Mrs. Olthoff!!! 😉 xoxo
whoaaaa. post it galore.
If Jesus were here, what would he be doing? ~ Doing the same thing He did when He first was here: Serving all, loving the unlovable, forgiving…
Why aren’t we doing the same? ~ I fear rejection, not being a good enough Christ-like example. Confession: I get into a routine of unproductive comfort AKA "laziness"!
