Remember the bracelets that used to say WWJD? "What Would Jesus Do?" Those were awesome. And sometimes the answer is He would flip tables and whip somebody! Knowing that makes me smile when I think of a saying I heard recently... WWJS. It means "What Would Jesus Say?" Or, "Who Would Jesus Slap?" I know that is shocking and the first time I heard it I was taken aback. But the reality is, I know a few individuals that constantly, perpetually, passive-aggressively attack, criticize, complain, and gossip about everything, and I am like, I think perhaps you are on that list. So for those of us that Jesus might slap, here are a few questions I always ask...
Does it need said? Does it need said now? Does it glorify God?
If we can't say yes to these things, no matter what excuse we come up with, we just shouldn't say it. The reality is people are going to hell and we are way too concerned with getting things the way we want them to be able to ever effectively reach anybody for Christ. Stop complaining and remember we deserve death. The only thing we are entitled to is God's grace, not everything else we think we deserve. #YouKnowWhoYouAreAndIHopeTheSlapDoesntKnockYourTeethOutBecauseHeIsMighty
