What would Jesus Do?

Custom User Avatar
More by this author
They say that you should ask
"Oh what would Jesus do?"
I think these words were spoken
to relate to me with you

If I were Jesus I would go
and "turn the other cheek"
I know thats what I'm told to do
but that makes me feel week.

But If that cheek was turned to you
I'd let you slap me hard
You'd blame your sins on what I did
and play the same old cards.

I know if I was Jesus
exactly how I'd act
but it's so hard to never sin
and never hit you back

I think you did a great job in your poem. I loved your idiom about turning your cheek. Also I liked when you then made turning your cheek literal.

I know how that feels, and believe me I've been there. I know what Jesus would do too. But as I've realized it doesn't get better to fight sin with sin. Ooooooooooo! Ive got my own wise saying unless I heard that somewhere and just remembered it. That would stink. Great poem by the way. I can really tell your perspective on the subject. No one said it would be easy to do what He does. Ps. Please check out my work! 'd really love for u to.

Great poem! It shows the struggle of knowing what is right verses doing so, something many of us face all the time. You captured a lot in just a few stanzas =)

thats so true. In jesus' shoes you know what is right and what is wrong, yet its hard to have the will power to be God's perfect angel, to never do anything wrong. I love this poem and I can't wait until I hear more from you

the struggle christians face on a day to day basis are laid out for the world to see in this poem. People are so quick to point out the faults and sins of our kind, but they dont pause to think. if they did, they'd realize that life can be just as challenging as anyone elses. But, the difference, is how we handle it. Well done. :)

our kind? what do you mean by that? hey i am a christian too but i dont think were any different then other "non"-christians. we are ALL equeal. and we really shouldnt feel sorry for ourselves about the struggles we go through, at least we know we have a Gpd to turn to. others dont. we should feel sorry for them. so just wanted to point that out. sorry but hey good poem btw!

Acctually belivers are different from non-Christains- 1 Peter 1:9 "But you are not like that, you  are a chosen people. For you are holy priests, a holy nation, God's very own possessions. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness by His wonderful light." My friend, we are supposed to live in the world, but not be a part of it. God wants us to be holy. By no means should we be judgmental (Paul said out of all sinners he was the worst,... (more »)
