Course Conclusion:
Early in my Christian experience and ministry, I became acquainted with the devotional novel, In His Steps, by Charles M. Sheldon. Throughout the story, characters from all walks of life were confronted with the question, “What would Jesus do?” Responding to that challenge actually changed the course of people in a small city.
More recently, youth of today have abbreviated this concept to a popular bracelet, “WWJD?”
Though seemingly over-simplistic, that is the central thesis of this course. Other concepts and characters fill in the context and put flesh on the forms. The critical undercurrent, however, is “What did Jesus do then?” And, what would He do now in servant leadership?
“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” –1 Peter 2:21
