If you Follow the Teachings of Jesus...

Not so popular now are the bracelets that held the simple letters WWJD.  And in fact they have become something of a joke.   I wonder how many people really thought about those letters.   And when it comes right down to it, What WOULD Jesus have done?   A man that taught love, forgiveness, and turning the other cheek, what else could he have done if he believed his own teachings.   Few if any of the followers of Jesus, then and now, were as enlightened as he was.  They interpreted his words through their own biases.  He was a master, a teacher, who had come to teach us the basics of love.   So many since then, including his own disciples felt they had to interpret this teaching.  If you are trying to follow the teachings of Jesus, what will you do?

“Speak of compassion, Master”

“Speak of compassion, Master”, the student said.  “I see people that seem to call to themselves all kinds of adversity and I don’t think I always feel compassion for them and their misfortune.”
“My child” said the Master, “It is for that very reason that we should feel compassion for others.  When we are able to look at the other, and see God in them and when we are able to look at the other, no matter his fortune, and see ourself in them, then we are feeling compassion.  All are children of the ONE SOURCE and they are looking for God in their own way even as you and I are.  When we can look upon them as we would want ourselves to be seen, when we can do for them as we would have them do for us... we are expressing compassion.  By your asking the question, my child, you are learning about compassion.  It is compassion that will turn the tide and bring peace to our beloved home.  Thank you, my child, for asking this question about compassion.”
