What would Jesus do?

Isaiah 11:4

He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

The Christian faith believes that the prophet Isaiah foretold of the coming of Jesus about 700 years before his birth.

Who in Israel would have thought that this longed-awaited Messiah would be a “Prince of Peace” and not a military ruler?

Jesus would not use violence and power to defeat the “ruthless” and the “wicked” but would instead use non-violent methods.

Jesus would respond to persecution by standing up to it with words of truth.

His actions would be ones of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion.

This is the model that Jesus gave us to deal with adversity and evil.

It is radical, courageous and life-changing.

It’s the path to the kingdom of God.

Each of us must ask ourselves: How well am I following this model in my life?
