One of my students wears a black wristband with the initials �WWJD� on it. I spotted this while we were doing some listening exercises.
�What�s that?� I asked.
�It�s a wristband�, said Edward.
�Yes, I can see that, I mean what are the initials for?�
Tony piped up, smiling.
�He�s a Christian. It�s for �What Would Jesus Do?��
What would Jesus do, indeed. I had images of Him wondering through the college canteen, picking over the various articles of what is laughingly called �food� there. What would He do? Go for the ploughman�s lunch, only �2.99. That and a slush puppy. Now he�s in a language exam: What will He do? That�s right, get every answer correct, seeing as He�s omniscient! My, but he�d be an annoyingly smug bugger to teach�.
Asking, in any given situation, what Jesus would do seems to me a bit of a no-brainer, in that He would either do nothing, as stuff would just happen around Him anyway, or, to be trite, be meek and mild. Or rather, Meek and Mild. Aggressively Meek.
