In my young Christians walk in the early 70's, the popular concept is WWJD — “What Would Jesus Do?” Today, the church sermon is from 1Cor 2 with the ending verse "But we have the mind of Christ". What does it mean and how do we live it out. Here is a devotion from ChatGPT after some interactions.
🌿 WWJD: Living with the Mind of Christ
Key Verse:
“But we have the mind of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 2:16
Reflection
The phrase “we have the mind of Christ” means that through the Holy Spirit, we are given the ability to think, discern, and act like Jesus. It’s not just about copying His behavior; it’s about being transformed from within so that His values, love, and wisdom naturally guide our choices.
The simple question WWJD — “What Would Jesus Do?” captures this truth in action. It reminds us to pause and let Christ’s perspective lead our response in every situation:
-
When someone hurts us → WWJD? He would forgive.
-
When pride tempts us → WWJD? He would humble Himself.
-
When fear rises → WWJD? He would trust the Father.
-
When others are in need → WWJD? He would show compassion.
Each time we ask that question sincerely, the Holy Spirit aligns our thoughts with the mind of Christ. Over time, it becomes less about asking “What would Jesus do?” and more about living as Jesus lives through us.
This is the heart of Christian maturity — to not only act like Christ but to think, feel, and decide like Him, in every part of life.
Summary
-
The mind of Christ is the inner transformation that lets us understand God’s ways.
-
WWJD is the practical expression of that renewed mind.
-
Living this way turns faith into action and brings Christ’s presence into daily life.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for giving me Your mind through the Holy Spirit.
Teach me to think and act as You would — with love, humility, and wisdom.
In every decision, help me pause and ask, “What would You do?”
Shape my heart until my thoughts and actions reflect Yours,
so that others may see You living in me. Amen.
