W.W.J.D?  (What Would Jesus Do?) That’s a good question! But the question W.W.J.D? really gets it’s power when it changes the way we answer W.W.W.DO?  (What Will We Do?)  When what Jesus does – changes what we do, then there are three things that we must do!

Learn And Teach! What are you learning as you walk through this life with God?  What are you teaching to help others to grow for God’s glory?  Everyday we should try to learn something from God and everyday we should try to share something that we are learning with others!

Live And Preach! Are you allowing God’s Word to change the way you live your life?  Is your life being lived as a positive message for others to see, hear and be influenced by?  Everyday you get to preach a message to the world with your life and the way that it is lived – so what are you preaching about?

Love And Heal! What is hurting you today?  Do you know that God wants to take that hurt and use it to heal you and make you better?  But before God can take the hurt and make you better, you must make sure that you have gotten from that hurt whatever it is that you need to get from it.  What is hurting you and taking away from your life?  Why is it here in your life right now and at this moment?  What can you learn from it and how will you let it make your life better?  (Take just a moment to walk back through those questions and really think about your answers!)

God wants to help you and heal you, but you must also be willing to help yourself, so that your life can be opened up to His healing.  When you begin to do your part – God will come in and do some amazing things to make you whole, so that you might share that wholeness with others.  Love God because God loves you and has blessed you with the capacity to love!  Love yourself because you are a special, gifted and talented creation of God!  Love others because it brings great glory to God when His love is shared and grown!

We talked a little bit yesterday about W.W.J.D? (What Would Jesus Do?)  We discovered three things that Jesus did:  He was busy teaching in the churches, preaching the “Good News!” and healing the sick!

We then ask ourselves another important question:  WWW.DO? (What Will We DO?)  If we follow the example of Jesus, then there are three things that we must do.

The first thing that we must do is “Learn and Teach!  We need to put ourselves in a place of learning about God and His will for our lives.  As we begin to learn about who He is and about who we are in and through Him, we become qualified to help others to learn from our learning!

Second – We Need To Live And Preach! When you are presented with God’s Word, it should challenge and change you!  We should always walk away from an encounter with God’s Word as a different and better person.  A good question to ask God and ourselves is:   “God what do you want to change today?” God’s message is Good News!  The sermon that we preach is not with words, but with the actions and reactions of our lives.  We need Good News and our world need Good News!  And you get to be a part of receiving, being changed by and sharing the Good News!

Open your heart and mind to God and His Word today! Listen for what He is saying to you about who He has created you to be and what He has created you to do!  Live in victory!

Do you remember when it was all the rage to wear one of those “W.W.J.D?” bracelets? It seemed like everyone had one!  You were supposed to wear it as a reminder to ask yourself:  “What Would Jesus Do?” As you answered the question, you were to then find the motivation to do the right thing!  The problem was and is – A lot of people ask the question, but they fail to let the answer make any difference in their life!

In Matthew 4:23-25 we read about what Jesus did! He taught in the churches, preached the good news and healed the sick!  Thinking about what Jesus did and does has got me to thinking!  Maybe we need a new initial set! How about WWW.DO? = What Will We Do? Because of what Jesus has done and is doing – what will we do?

I would like to suggest three places to start!  We will take one place a day for the next few days!

First – We Need To Learn And Teach! Discipleship has got to be more that just a fancy church word in our vocabulary!  We need to put ourselves in a place where we can learn from God through His Word!  We need to learn, so that we can teach!  We like to think that we know it all, but when we are honest with ourselves – we know that we don’t!

The truth is:  You are coming out of a battle, in the midst of a battle or heading into a battle! The best way to be prepared for battle is by learning from God about who you are, what you were created for and how God plans to use your life for His glory!  We should always be preparing for the next battle!  What is it in your life that God needs to deal with, so that you can help others to deal with it in their lives?  As God teaches you to deal with your stuff – you get to help others deal with their stuff!
