During a tour of the sites Louise Penny popularized in her detective novels featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, the tour guide gave us identifying wrist bands saying What Would Gamache Do? This brought back memories from years ago when the popular fashion accessory was a rubber wrist band emblazoned with WWJD (what would Jesus do).
Jon Swanson gave me an idea today when he wrote about how sometimes we decide what Jesus would say (and do). That resonated with much of my thinking.
My wish is that we who identify either as Christians or as Jesus-followers would actually read, digest, infuse his actual words and deeds instead of making up stuff or taking at surface-value what others have said about him.
Rather than What Would Jesus Do, perhaps better is What Did Jesus Do and Say and how do we incorporate that into our every day lives?
I like the word infuse. I approach spiritual disciplines with the idea of infusing Jesus’ teachings into my very being reflected in the way I behave.
