Exactly, for example, Satan's ideal world would be a world of order, people going to work, doing their thing, sinning in their spare time.

Satan would want LOTS of Churches.

But just none preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

At the old saying WWJD. The thing is with Jesus, he is superhuman. He has the ability to control the weather and can shut down any people to challenge him with difficult questions like the Pharisees.

The saying SHOULD be: What would Jesus HAVE US do?

My 2 cents: I think if you want to become more Christ-like you need to also consider WDJD. (What did Jesus do?) The Gospel that causes us to repent and believe, is the Gospel that also transforms into the image of Christ.

"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." 2 Cor 3:18

I think WWJD can be unhealthy, as it can cause us to trust ourselves and what we can 'do for Jesus', more than we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on our behalf.

That is why I said: What would Jesus HAVE US do?

Gotcha. Still a difference though. Maybe not a big deal, but the one causes us to look at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus(WDJD). The other causes us to look at oursleves(WWJHUD). Which one is closer to the Gospel? WDJD imo. Anyways, they're both just acronyms, lol. Peace.

Well there does come a time when we do need to look at ourselves obviously.

You said WDJD, it is WWJD.

With WWJD scenario, yes we should follow his example but Jesus is superhuman. He had the ability to control the weather and walk on water. There is no way humans could do that.

WWJHUD seems to be more... achievable if you know what I mean.

It should be " what DID Jesus do?"

Well he healed the sick, calmed the storm, fed the 5000, told parable stories, turned over the table in the temple, he died on the cross for our sins.

How does that help whether or not I should do something a certain way or another way?

Should be on motivation and that the fact is he "still did that" and it wasn't a story. The fact that he did that is enough motivation for me to like jesus, I really don't see your question.
