What Did Jesus Do?

Stuart Briscoe

"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart...." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

There's a well-known illustration showing a tiny angel sitting on one side of a man's shoulders and an equally miniature devil sitting on the other. Both are whispering in the man's ear, trying to persuade him to do what they suggest. It's a humorous depiction of the serious battle that rages within us every day.

This internal conflict has led to the phrase, "What would Jesus do?" It suggests that we ask ourselves what Jesus would do if He were faced with our situation, whatever it is. It's easy to speculate about what Christ might do, but our conclusion is not always accurate. It can be tainted by our own beliefs and our own desires. As Stuart explains in this series, a better idea is to study what Jesus DID do, learn why He did it, and then apply that to our decisions.

5. Jesus Championed the Underprivileged message info
Stuart Briscoe

Jesus insisted on looking positively and graciously on social outcasts, much to the dismay of the social elite. It was not that he had favorites. He simply found that the underprivileged and the undesirables were often more receptive to his message than the self-sufficient.

6. Jesus Communed with the Father message info
Stuart Briscoe

The secret of the spectacular outward life of Jesus was the intimate inward communion He enjoyed with the Father. One evidence of this was that "He often withdrew to lonely places and prayed" (Luke 5:16). He taught His disciples to develop a similar life of intimacy.

7. Jesus Challenged the Religious message info
Stuart Briscoe

Jesus challenged the religious people of his day so strongly that they "began to oppose him fiercely." He contended that their religion had actually become a substitute for spiritual reality. A charge that requires careful thought by all who take spirituality seriously.
