What Did Jesus Do?

Jesus said: I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done ... If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. (Jn. 13:15, 17 ESV)



A common question among Christians faced with making decisions is, "What would Jesus do?" It expresses our desire to do what is in accord with the will of the Lord. But another, less-speculative question can also be asked regarding our life situations, namely, "What DID Jesus do?" What actions did He take? What choices did He make in his life? What did He do with His time here on earth? How did He choose to live? That is the focus of this book then: looking at His activities and deeds so that we who seek to follow Jesus can see clear examples of righteous behavior which He modeled for our benefit and which can be incorporated into our lives. In doing this, we will be more able to pursue Christlikeness in very practical ways.
