Chapter 17 – The Question Mark

www.EverythingYouKnowAboutJesusIsWrong.com What Would Jesus Do? It's one of the most famous religious questions ever asked. It appeared on bracelets, bumper stickers, T-shirts, coffee mugs, keychains, and wristbands. Entire movements were built around four simple letters: WWJD. But what happens when we stop asking the question and start assuming we already know the answer? In this chapter, we explore the history behind the WWJD movement, the ways Jesus has been claimed by every political, religious, and cultural tribe imaginable, and why certainty about Jesus is often the biggest obstacle to actually knowing him. This isn't a chapter about proving what Jesus would do. It's a chapter about keeping the question mark. This is the Jesus who: • refuses to fit neatly into our ideological camps • challenges assumptions on the left and the right • surprises his followers and critics alike • resists being reduced to a political mascot • overturns our certainty with uncomfortable questions • continuously disrupts what we think we know If you've ever been tempted to use Jesus to validate your own opinions, beliefs, politics, or preferences... you're not alone. The question isn't whether Jesus agrees with us. The question is whether we're willing to let him disagree with us. 🔥 In This chapter You'll Discover: Why the WWJD movement became far bigger than a simple youth group slogan How people across the religious and political spectrum claim Jesus for their own causes Why "What Would Jesus Do?" is often treated as a statement rather than a question How certainty about Jesus can prevent us from seeing the real Jesus What the Bible actually invites us to do when following Christ Why humility may be more important than having all the answers 🧠 Questions for the Bold Have you already decided what Jesus thinks about every issue that matters to you? Are you following Jesus... or asking Jesus to follow you? What assumptions about Christ have you never bothered to challenge? When was the last time Jesus genuinely surprised you? Are you willing to keep the question mark where it belongs? 💡 About the Book & Series Everything You Know About Jesus Is Wrong challenges centuries of assumptions and invites readers to encounter Jesus beyond the filters of culture, politics, religion, and personal preference. This isn't about finding new answers. It's about asking better questions. Because the moment we stop assuming we've mastered Jesus may be the moment we finally begin to understand him.
