With the yellow “livestrong” Lance Armstrong bracelets popping up everywhere, I thought it was time to go “old school” and start wearing a “WWJD” bracelet again. After all, it’s still cool. Allen Iversen continues to wear his.

In review, WWJD stands for, “What would Jesus do?” Homer Simpson thought it meant “What would Geppetto Do?” but that is for another day. So, what would Jesus do? Quite frankly, I am not so sure. I know he told his main students (disciples) they are to teach everything he commanded to other people (Matthew 28:20). What he commanded is one thing but the resulting actions is another. We might be surprised at some actions Jesus takes in a given situation, but we would know the thinking behind the action through what he taught. “WWJD” is a good reminder, but it may be more helpful to start out with a “WDJT” bracelet. “What did Jesus teach?” Too often people are quick to assume what Jesus would do without the knowledge and understanding of what he taught. “WDJT” bracelets for everyone.
