Whenever we think about what Jesus WOULD do in any particular situation, we have justed created a MODEL that we want to become like. The New Covenant is all about letting JESUS live and have His full expression in and through me. This is the view of author William P. Young author of “The Shack” and it raises important issues for us.
If my aim as a Christian is to become more like Jesus, then I will always see Jesus as the finishing-line, and I will always strive to become more like Him, rather than viewing Him as the starting-line, and an awesome adventure of LIFE before us! This is a huge shift in our paradigm. Check out the video below:-

Love the book, love the interview, love the radical perspective that Father God is “on our side of the table”; so when did that scriptural stance become radical???? Could it be when “religion” overtook “relationship”??? Food for thought…Did Jesus REALLY mean everything He said about us??? God doesn’t clone He reproduces. Appreciate you finding all these cool clips, John. blessings from FL.
WWJD? certainly its We Want Jelly Doughnuts
@Amelia: Thanks for your input! Yes Ma’am what is “radical” nowadays should really be normal.
@Q: Hahahaha You rock man !
