What would happen if we approached every interaction, every moment of our day, by asking "What would Jesus do?" Not as a cliché, but as a genuine commitment to embodying His compassion in action?
The challenge of emulating Christ can seem overwhelming – after all, He was both fully divine and fully human. Yet as we explore in this episode, the essence of Jesus' example wasn't just in His miraculous works, but in His everyday acts of love and service. When Peter described Jesus to Cornelius, he highlighted that Jesus "went about doing good" – a simple yet profound description that captures the heart of Christ's ministry.
While we can't replicate Jesus' divine miracles, we can absolutely embrace the compassion that motivated them. From washing His disciples' feet to ensuring His mother's care even as He hung on the cross, Jesus demonstrated that genuine love takes action. We discover that true Christlike behavior isn't about grand gestures but consistent acts of kindness – listening attentively, serving willingly, and seeing beyond surface appearances to the soul within each person we encounter.
Our challenge to you: pray for eyes that see people as Jesus does, and then take the initiative to serve someone in an unexpected way this week. As we learn to translate compassion into immediate action, we begin to walk more faithfully in the footsteps of the One who embodied goodness perfectly. Subscribe to continue this journey with us, and share with others who might be encouraged to join in doing good – because like Jesus, you were made for it.
