Reinforcing self

03.21.2006 by Tim Reed

Its been proposed, from a blog I enjoy very much, that it can be useful when looking at a thorny issue or situation to ask the question “if I spent three years with Jesus what would I think about this”?

Can this question ever bring clarity? I suppose if someone is acting in a way they know is contrary to the teachings of Christ it could be useful. However, if there is truly a dilemma this question will only re-inforce whatever view was held before. It would only be by going back and re-examining the life of Christ, which in turn would involve turning to scripture (which is what this question was meant to bring clarity to in the first place), that any shift in perception would occur.
