You work in a cake shop. It is the family business, and has been so for two generations. Your entire family has been Christian for as long as anyone can remember and, you too, are Christian.
One day, two homosexuals walk into your cake shop to order a cake for their Civil Partnership or Marriage. You refuse them service on religious grounds: homosexuality offends your religious beliefs.
But let's look at it another way: What Would Jesus Do?
Jesus was not a Christian. Nor had he ever read the Bible. Neither concepts existed as they do now when he was giving the Sermon on the Mount, or healing the Leper, or speaking with the Prostitute.
But the office of a Christian should not only be to believe in Jesus Christ, but also to aspire to be as much like him as it's possible to be (short of being able to turn water into wine).
This being the case, what would Jesus have done in that same situation?
WWJD? It used to be a popular Christian Meme set out as a poignant and relevant reminder of what the job of a Christian is.
Why did so many Christians forget? And is it about time they remembered?
