“The question should not be ‘WWJD- What would Jesus do?’ but ‘What would Jesus have us do?’ The onus is not on Jesus but on us, for Jesus did not come to ask semi-divine human beings to do impossible things. He came to ask human beings to live up to their full humanity. He wants us to live in the full implications of our human gifts, and that is far more demanding….We are meant to live as bravely and fully in our world and time as Jesus lived in his.”
From Peter Gomes in The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus
