Inspired, I explained that obedience is not about not doing the wrong thing, but more about actively doing the right thing. We needn't worry soo much about avoiding the bad, as we should about pursuing the good. I challenged all of us in the Gospel Principles class to apply our lesson on the Life of Christ by asking ourselves not what Jesus wouldn't do, but what he would do, and then do it.
In my life I often feel that this is one of the best questions that I can ask myself in any situation. It is inspired as it seeks action, not passive knowledge. It keeps in mind that sin is not only doing what is wrong or rebelling against the law of God, but, perhaps more commonly, failure to do that which is good.
Next time we come to a moral question, let us not ask if it is wrong, but let us ask if it is right.
What would Jesus do?
