WSJD

Lecturer in New Testament studies today was talking about how Paul's ethics were fundamentally connected to his doctrine of 'participation in Christ', i.e. the doctrine that we are in Jesus. I briefly thought about this, concluding that the bracelet should not be WWJD (What Would Jesus Do), but WSJD (What Should Jesus Do) - we who have faith are united to Christ in a very real spiritual way, such as that anything we do, Jesus does. When we choose what we do, therefore, we should consider carefully whether it is right that we do it - we're not just doing it for us, we're doing it for Jesus - not only on his behalf, but he is actually literally doing it. Is what we do apppropriate for Jesus to actually literally do?
