What would Jesus do? That is a common question we ask ourselves as we go on our everyday lives. What would Jesus do with this co-worker that is aggrovating me? What would Jesus do with this customer who doesn’t have any patience and is yelling and insulting me?

One question I have thought to myself is:

“Would Jesus have a routine like every single one of us?”

I think if Jesus walked the earth today, he would. I think he probably even had a routine back 2000 years ago, it might have just looked a little different than ours. Jesus would have a routine he would just prioritize things better then we attempt to at times. Jesus would set certain times of the day aside to pray and talk to God. To study and learn about the theology of the current time. He would keep in constant communication with his Father, praying not my will but yours be done. He was so concentrated on what the Father had set out before him that he would do everything and anything willingly. He took blame, persecution, abuse, neglect, temptation - Our blame, our persecution which resulted in His death. What a perfect, selfless, living sacrifice we have in Christ Jesus to model our lives after.

Another question I have thought to myself is:

“How would Jesus deal with those aggrovating and irratating people we run into everyday? How we he be able to keep his patience?”

It’s not as much about how we act, but how we react which tells someone about our character. When we hear something we don’t instantly click with and are uncomfortable with, we will react in negative ways most of the time. I know I do. If Jesus were in that exact situation I think he would have been a lot more patient and would actually think through his head what to say before he said it. Jesus had so much respect for people and their free will and choices they made, he would never say anything to them that he did not believe would serve and bring glory to His Father.

Revelation 3:20 (New International Version)

²⁰Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

The last question I have for the moment is:

“If Jesus walked the earth today like he did 2000 years ago. Would  you be one of his followers?”

I think this question can be answered with the following scriptures.

John 8:31-32 (New International Version)

³¹To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. ³²Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

It would ultimately come down to the most important decesion we can make in our lives. We will make a choice to believe the words of Jesus, or we will make a choice not to believe His words. Our choice will determine our eternal destiny.

John 6:68 (New International Version)

⁶⁸Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 28:24 (New International Version)

²⁴Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.
