A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said . . . would either be a lunatic . . . or the Devil of Hell.  You must make your choice.  Either this man was, or is, the son of God; or else a madman or something worse. . . But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great Human Teacher.  He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

I must say that when I first learned of the series of Books and assorted Chachkis that evolved around the concept of trying to determine “What would Jesus Do” in any given situation, I had to think that no good could come of this.

Leaving aside the danger of falling into the Jesus as Philosopher trap that C.S. Lewis so eloquently decried in his book “Mere Christianity” and which is quoted above, at best you are trying to put yourself inside the mind of the son of GOD; at worst, you risk twisting the words and teachings of Jesus in a pathetic attempt to pander to your own political ideology.

If you truly want to know what Jesus would do, try reading the Bible.

That said, let’s look at some of the problems facing the world today that Jesus didn’t have to live with in his day.

Today we have unmarried women getting pregnant. In some cases, they know who the father is, but not always. Likewise, sometimes the father is still around, but not always, and there is also no guarantee that her current man will stick around once he does find out she is pregnant, whether or not he is even the father of the child.

So what does she do?

Without a good Christian upbringing to counter the insidious “me first” influences of this Liberal Utopia in which we live, she takes the easy way out. She has an abortion and gets on with her life, and lest some of you think; “If she had a good Christian upbringing, she would not have gotten pregnant in the first place”, the reality is that we all make mistakes regardless of our best intentions or upbringing. What defines us, however, is what we do after we have made a mistake.

Do we take the easy way out and compound a mistake with a sin, or do we choose life despite the inconvenience?

So in this situation, truly what would Jesus do?

Unfortunately, Nothing

Before he could do anything, he would have been just another Abortion Statistic.

Joseph would have kicked Mary out; just another pregnant teenager left to fend for herself and ultimately she would have chosen the easy way out - chosen to have an abortion and get on with her life, and the Liberals would have applauded her “choice”

And here we would find ourselves two thousand years later with no Christianity, no America and no Hope.
