The<br \/>\nIsraelites tried to do the WWYD question and they never came up with the right<br \/>\nanswer. They never imagined the incarnational suffering-servant God that would<br \/>\ndie for all. They asked themselves the WWYD question and determined that the the<br \/>\nMessiah would be a warrior king that would deliver them from the Romans. Peter<br \/>\nwas the first to try the WWJD question when he asked the Lord <font\ncolor=#3333ff>&#8220;Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive<br \/>\nhim? As many as seven times?&#8221; &#8212; Matt 18:21 <\/font>James and John asked<br \/>\nthemselves the WWJD question and asked the Lord <font color=#3333ff>&#8220;Lord, do<br \/>\nyou want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?&#8221; &#8211;Luke 9:54<br \/>\n<\/font>In both cases Jesus&#8217; reply showed them how far off the mark they were to<br \/>\nwhat He desired.
