What would Jesus do..

"What would Jesus do" a very famous Christian "question" with the initials W.W.J.D (looks familiar...) that we see very often on car stickers, wristbands and even posters. But, seriously, what would Jesus do? It just dawned upon me this morning, and honestly I think many of us would not do what Jesus did or at least would not be willing to do the same things he did. A popular phrase so commonly used that it has been embroided in our sub-consious that whether we follow it or not, doesn't seem to bother us all that much.

If we don't carry out W.W.J.D, who's to show Christlikeness to those who have yet to know Him? Even worst should we not only don't show Christlikeness but act like we're of a more superior kind, when once upon a time we were not different than them, it was because of someone else's inatiative that brought us to the stepping stone of Salvation. Therefore, that doesn't make us a good judge to anyone.

13. "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men."

- Matthew 5:13-

1. Show your difference, if not you are no different from the world
I'm not saying that unsaved people are to be trampled underfoot by men. But saying we Christians are supposed to be God's representation to others and if we fail to do, then we would have failed to achieve our objective which is to be the difference in this world.

 14. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

-Matthew 5:14-15-

Then you maybe asking, how to show that difference? C.A.M presented a song by Jeremy Camp "Speaking Louder than before" earlier last year. Precisely this is how it's going to be done, by speaking louder...letting our faith be made known. Say it loud and say it proud. Do not be afraid to state your faith! Of course, do not be forceful and vigilent till the extent of annoyance and scaring people off before they even get near, but be bold about it, make your stand evident..do not bend just because circumstances force you to.

2. Do not be shy about it
Realize that people are not shy of things that they are proud of, or are happy about. So this is how others will perceive it. When you are shy about it, it becomes an automatic turn off when a lack of confidence or boldness is shown. For the lack of examples, but look at a salesperson by the street, the salesperson promotes it's product like it's the only thing that works on earth, even the person know it doesn't.

 16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

- Matthew 5:16-

3. Acknowledge God in your life
As just keeping along the line of the Church's vision that this year will be the Year of Empowerment. God has empowered us to be His channel in this world, so for God has done to bless you, propser you, Flaunt it...not in a show pony kind of manner but Proudly, send the message that "if God can go this for me, He can do it for you too" In a student term, do not plagarize God's work. He did the great works, we're just his representatives. Amen!.

Year of Empowerment, 2010

As for my 110th post, and appropriately on new year's day it is. This year like every other year, there will be a lot of new things to adapt to, but it's just a matter of being prepared for it.

I've heard what God as been saying for the past few months, and apart from that there are others things that I know He wants me to fulfill as well.

I believe that God will make this year, not just a good year but a Great one!...To everyone Happy New Year. May God's blessings be with you through out the year. :)
