WWJD always seemed to me to be a human-contrived way to do what we read about Jesus doing in the gospels, by trying to superficially apply those examples to our own situations. In my mind this is just an outwardly religious effort, rather than something coming from an inner life relationship with Christ. Sure, the Lord's example of human living is the perfect model, but to apply it takes a moment by moment relationship with Him in spirit . . . it's via His life in us, not something we produce by our own effort.

Does that make sense?
