I'm a sucker for t-shirts! I've got tees ranging from short phrases like "What if the hokey-pokey really is what it's all about" to an old Mr. Bubble shirt.
A couple of months ago I was browsing one of my favorite t-shirt sites and came across a shirt that completely cracked me up.
It had a giant set of overly familiar letters across the front of it
WWJD
You know...I nearly passed up looking at the shirt because I'd been so burned out of the whole WWJD craze from working in a Christian bookstore.
But then I noticed some smaller words that I couldn't make out so I clicked on the link to blow the image up.
The shirt now read...
WWJD
for a Klondike bar?
Call it sacrilegious if you must but I thought it was hilarious. I lost it! I then couldn't help but think...
What WOULD Jesus do for a Klondike bar?
Would He speak one into existence?
Would He even like it?
Then THAT got me thinking about what He would do about "WWJD?"
Would He be pleased?
Would He embrace the idea?
Would He be disappointed that profits were being made from His name?
IS there someone out there raking it in?
If so, are they giving any back to the One that provided it in the first place?
THEN THAT got me thinking about christian bookstores and how some of them now offer credit cards even though the Bible talks about how borrowing isn't the best of practices. (Romans 13:8, Proverbs 22:7)
Would He turn the tables over like He did in the temple?
Anyway. I didn't really have a point to this I guess. Call me a devil's advocate. It's something to think about right?
And to think all this came from a silly little t-shirt.
