What Jesus Did Is What Jesus Does: Beyond WDJD

What Did Jesus Do?

What Jesus Did Would Fill More Than An Earthful of Books (John 21:25),

And What Jesus Did Is What Jesus Does:

Going Beyond WDJD

I’ve been asking, and answering, WDJD for over three years now, and have accumulated several hundred posts/blogs.  But, as John 21:25 makes clear, I’ll never exhaust the subject.  Yet, as rewarding as the asking and answering has been, I’ve come to understand that the Father doesn’t want us to stop at simply learning about what the Son did, because, well, the Father and the Son are still in business.  And what Jesus did is what he does.

Now, while my daily Bible study is built upon the repeated asking of WDJD, I am compelled by the Spirit to daily ask another VERY important question of the Lord, “Jesus, what WILL you do in and through me, for my life is yours to direct?”  You see, every answer to WDJD that is revealed to us is a pointer to what Jesus is about today, tomorrow, and forever in and through the lives of every believer.  For sure, God is able to work in and through us without our conscious and intentional participation.  But in such a case God is working rather in spite of us, isn’t he?  In truth, the Father would have his daughters and sons actively seeking to be a part of what he does in and through the Son in the power of the Holy Spirit.

And, even as the earth is not big enough to hold all the books that would be necessary to record all that Jesus did, there is no limit to what he will do in and through us when we put our lives in his hands every day.  “What will you do today Jesus?”  Clothe the naked.  Feed the hungry.  House the homeless.  Comfort the bereaved.  Visit the sick.  Lift up the oppressed.  Seek and save the lost.  Minister to the least.  There will be no end to what Jesus will do in this world until this world is no more.  Don’t you want to be a part of it?

Father, I thank you for revealing to me in your Word what your Son Jesus did.  Please guide me by your Word and your Spirit, to be an active part of what Jesus will do today and every day.  Amen.
