WWJD

So what would Jesus do? 

1. The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37): In this well-known parable, Jesus tells the story of a Samaritan who helps a wounded traveler, despite their cultural and religious differences. The religious leaders pass by the injured man without offering assistance. When we ask, “What would Jesus do?” in this situation, the answer is clear: He would show compassion and help the person in need, regardless of their background.
2. Forgiving Others (Matthew 18:21-22): Peter once asked Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who wrongs him—seven times? Jesus responded, “Not seven times, but seventy times seven.” Jesus’ emphasis on forgiveness highlights the importance of extending grace and mercy to others, just as He does for us.
3. The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1-11): When religious leaders brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus, they sought to trap Him. Instead of condemning her, Jesus challenged them, saying, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” Jesus’ response underscores the importance of mercy and the avoidance of self-righteous judgment.
4. The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7): In this extended teaching, Jesus outlines principles of love, humility, and forgiveness. He instructs his followers to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and love their enemies. When considering WWJD in everyday conflicts, these teachings guide believers toward nonviolence and reconciliation.
5. Feeding the Five Thousand (Matthew 14:13-21): When faced with a crowd of hungry people, Jesus took five loaves of bread and two fish and miraculously fed thousands. This example demonstrates Jesus’ compassion for physical needs and His ability to provide abundantly. It inspires Christians to share their resources with those in need.
