This is where our faith moves from being inward to outward. It's about actively applying the things we discover about Jesus, actively seeking to live our lives in the way he would if he were in our shoes. A great question to ask yourself is, ‘What does love require of me?’ Lots of the things that Jesus spoke about point in this direction – asking and acting on that question is doing what Jesus did.
Doing what Jesus did is also about stepping out of our comfort zones and allowing ourselves to see God at work in us and through us. God has a plan to rescue and restore the world, and that plan includes you. He has a plan to bring hope and meaning to people's lives, and that plan includes you. He could do all this by himself but he has chosen to use everyday people like you and me.Â
We love others and do what Jesus did out of the strength that comes from knowing he loves us - out of our relationship with him naturally comes to desire to bring his kingdom and do his will.
