We’ve walked through:
- Who Jesus is
- What He claimed
- What He did
- Why He came
- What He expects
- What His heart reveals
- How He responded
Now we return to the question that started it all:
What Would Jesus Do… today?
But now, we’re not guessing.
We’re responding from understanding.
First: What Is Jesus Still Doing?
Before we ask what He would do, we must remember what He is doing.
Jesus’ mission did not end at the cross.
It did not stop at the resurrection.
His goal remains what He declared:
To seek and save the lost.
Not one nation.
Not one ethnicity.
Not one political group.
Not one cultural tribe.
Every soul.
His Heart Is for All
When Jesus interacted with people, He crossed boundaries:
- He spoke with Samaritans, whom Jews avoided.
- He healed the servant of a Roman centurion.
- He welcomed children.
- He touched lepers.
- He restored women who were shamed.
- He forgave criminals.
His ministry was never racially narrow.
It was never nationally exclusive.
He did not die for one people group.
He died for the world.
If Christ’s goal is to save every soul, then our posture must reflect that same wideness of mercy.
What Breaks His Heart?
When Jesus looked over Jerusalem, He wept.
Not because He lost influence.
Not because His reputation suffered.
But because people refused reconciliation.
What breaks Christ’s heart?
- Hardened pride.
- Religious hypocrisy.
- Exploitation of the vulnerable.
- Lost souls drifting without hope.
- People using God’s name without God’s heart.
If those things break His heart…
They should break ours too.
So What Would Jesus Do Today?
He would still:
- Move toward the broken.
- Speak truth without cruelty.
- Resist pride.
- Refuse to weaponize power.
- Offer forgiveness.
- Invite repentance.
- Call people to follow Him.
- Lay down His life for others.
He would not:
- Dehumanize opponents.
- Reduce people to labels.
- Protect power over people.
- Trade compassion for influence.
- Choose tribal loyalty over eternal truth.
He would not save selectively.
He would seek relentlessly.
The Temptation We Must Resist
Sometimes we reshape Jesus to fit our fears.
We imagine Him prioritizing:
- Cultural dominance.
- National identity.
- Political victory.
But when we examine His life, we see something different.
He prioritized:
- Souls over systems.
- Transformation over control.
- Mercy over image.
- Eternal kingdom over earthly power.
That does not mean He ignored injustice.
It means He addressed it without losing sight of redemption.
A Heart Check
If we claim to follow Jesus, we must ask:
- Do I love only those who agree with me?
- Do I grieve over lost souls—or just cultural decline?
- Am I more passionate about being right than being redemptive?
- Does what angers me align with what broke His heart?
The goal of #WWJD is not to win arguments.
It is to reflect Christ.
And Christ’s mission has always been salvation.
The True Meaning of #WWJD
What Would Jesus Do?
He would seek.
He would forgive.
He would call.
He would restore.
He would surrender.
He would love beyond boundaries.
And He would invite us to do the same.
Not because it’s easy.
But because it reflects Him.
Final Reflection
This series was never about a bracelet.
It was about knowing Jesus deeply enough that our lives begin to resemble His.
If Christ’s heart beats for every soul…
Then ours must expand beyond comfort.
If His mission was reconciliation…
Then ours cannot be division.
If He laid down His life…
Then we cannot cling to pride.
#WWJD is not a slogan.
It is a surrender.
And surrender changes everything.
Closing Prayer for the #WWJD Series
Father in Heaven,
Thank You for revealing Yourself through Jesus Christ.
Thank You that He is not a slogan, not a symbol, not a cultural tool—but the living Son of God, full of grace and truth.
Lord, we confess that sometimes we have asked, “What Would Jesus Do?”
without first taking the time to know who He truly is.
Forgive us for reshaping You to fit our preferences.
Forgive us for speaking in Your name without reflecting Your heart.
Forgive us for loving selectively when You love completely.
Jesus, shape us.
Let Your compassion become our compassion.
Let Your humility quiet our pride.
Let Your courage strengthen our fear.
Let Your patience soften our reactions.
Let Your truth refine our words.
Break our hearts for what breaks Yours.
Teach us to care more about lost souls than cultural victories.
More about reconciliation than reputation.
More about obedience than applause.
Expand our love beyond boundaries.
Help us see people the way You see them—
not as categories or opponents,
but as souls worth dying for.
Holy Spirit, transform us from the inside out.
Make us slow to anger, rich in mercy, anchored in truth, and steady in surrender.
Guard us from religious performance without heart change.
Guard us from defending Christ in ways that misrepresent Him.
May our lives answer the question before our mouths do.
And when others look at us,
may they see something that resembles Jesus.
Not perfection.
But surrender.
We give You our minds, our words, our reactions, our ambitions, and our influence.
Teach us to follow You faithfully.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
