Would Jesus be okay with it?

I remember as a kid I wanted to do some things that I had a pretty good idea were wrong. In an effort to justify my actions I would ask Dad if it was a sin or not hoping to get the “okay” to go ahead. Dad was a genius at answering without answering. Often with me his go to answer was this…if Jesus was to come while you were doing that would he be okay with it? I still find myself asking that question. You see we have this built in knowledge of right and wrong. We know that some of the things we do and say would not please God but we forget to ask ourselves” would Jesus be okay with this.” Luke 12:40 says you must be ready all the time for the Son of man will come when you least expect it. When we have company coming and we know ahead of time we clean our house extra clean for our guests. Also if we are going on a trip somewhere we pack and prepare before we go. Jesus is coming! I don’t know about you but I don’t want to be ashamed when he comes. I hope when he comes he finds me doing something that pleases him!! Let’s start asking ourselves before we do or say something if Jesus would be okay with it. Would there be a better way to praise God than to be found doing good instead of evil? Dear Jesus, thank you for your patience with us. Help us to seek and do your will and not ours!!
