Have you seen the initials W.W.J.D. on various objects, like bracelets and buckles, used by modern Christian youth? They stand for What Would Jesus Do? When faced with a moral decision of right or wrong, they find help in these words. They go on to think: Would Jesus get drunk? or: Would Jesus gamble? W.W.J.D.
Actually, it all goes back to the book In His Steps by Reverend Henry Sheldon, written many years ago. The idea is based on Scripture: "Because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps" (1 Peter 2:21 KJV). In the book, Pastor Sheldon used the thought, "What would Jesus do in daily life, in business, and social affairs?"
Dr. Glenn Clark of Macalister College, after World War II, wrote a sequel What Would Jesus Do? bringing it into more recent times.
This concept of W.W.J.D. has also been helpful to many people in this new millennium.
