The W.W.J.D. bracelets give us some words to live by, but I agree with Ben’s take on this; it is a tough question to try to answer. The fact is, we are not Jesus, and we cannot possibly expect to know how He would handle every situation we encounter in our lives. For one, we create scenarios He didn’t face because we sin, He didn’t.
A more important question we can answer is what DID He do? It won’t give us the answer to every situation we face, but before we even begin to try to guess what He would have done if He had faced a situation we are in, we should at least do our homework and use His actions as a reference to build on. But we often skip, or forget that step.
What was important to Him? How did He encounter sinners? Who did He challenge the most to change their ways of thinking? What were His commands?
Jesus didn’t tell us to know what He would do. He told us to do what He told us to do. But when our pride tells us to take on more responsibility than He asked of us, we may find ourselves breaking His commandments in the process.
