Just had a thought………

You know the saying that has become so popular with Christians, "What would Jesus do"?

One day while meditating on God's word in: (Gal. 4:19) My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you. And (Eph. 3:19) and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. (2 Cor 4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

We are saved by faith, not by works. Trying to do what Jesus would do in our own strength will not work. But by faith, if we really believe, that Jesus will manifest himself in us, he will cause us to do the works that he did. We cannot do these things ourselves. We have a certain amount of willpower to carry us a bit as far as moral issues are concerned......

How far do you want to take this "what would Jesus do?" question. Is there anyone that will lay down their own life and let Christ manifest himself in them? There will be some that will do this in the last days. Jesus said his elect will do greater works than he did. He said he would be manifested in them. We would become his body, the body of Christ. Those people will not have to ask "what would Jesus do", they will be too busy doing it. This is what John was talking about when he said, "Jesus Christ is come in the flesh".

Some say that Christ cannot be manifested in our flesh, that we are sinners and will always be sinners. They do not believe or teach that Christ has truly come in our flesh. Awww, they will say Christ in us the hope of glory, but they don't believe it. In fact they teach, we don't want any "perfect people" here, this is the antichrist. (2Jo:1:7 Says, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”)
