I was looking through one of my old Bibles a few days ago. Inside the back cover I rediscovered something I wrote in 1986 after reading Sheldon's, In His Steps (WWJD for you younger readers). As I read what I had written I found myself challenged by a younger, and sadly more passionate, me. Here's what I wrote just out of high school.
What Would Jesus Do as Jeff Hume?
- He would always seek the Kingdom of God first and foremost in his life (Matt. 6:33).
- He would consider all earthly possessions not his but Gods and store his treasures in heaven (Matt 6:19).
- Since life here is not lasting, he would use anything possible to reach the lost and regard others as more important than himself (Mark 10:45).
- He would examine all of his plans in light of the gospel and prayer (Acts 20:24).
- He would commit himself to spending all his time to the greatest benefit to God.
