Consider John's disciples who came to ask Jesus if he was the Christ. Look at Jesus' answer. He does not simply say that he is the Christ. He points his questioners to his works. We likewise will do well to look to Jesus' works. What has he done? Has he lived in this sinful world and become acquainted with sorrow and the grief that we endure? Has he seen the fruits of sin in people's lives? Has he seen the crushing weight of God's Law upon sinful people? Has he taken on the sin of the world and died so that we might live?
Let us not ask, "What would Jesus do?" but rather, "What did Jesus do?"
