He’d say that sin was sin and we’d crucify Him again.

I heard an interesting quote one time about the phrase “What would Jesus do?”

The person said, “In the first place, we can’t really know what Jesus would do...because even when He was on earth He was never doing what His followers “thought” He should be doing.” Example, eating with publicans and sinners, pardoning the woman caught in adultury, etc.

The second point was, “And even if we knew what He would do...what makes us think we would do it.” His disciples certainly failed, and so would we. Even Paul said that the things that he wanted to do he didn’t and the things which he didn’t want to do he did.

No. 1: Come, Ye Daughters
Come, ye daughters, share my wailing. See ye! The Bridegroom see! 
Whom? 
See Him! A lamb is he.
How?
O Lamb of God, most holy, the bitter Cross Thou has taken. At all times meek and lowly, though by Thy children forsaken
See it! His patience mild
What?
Look! Upon our guilt.
Ah, where?
The sins of man Thou art bearing, else were we left despairing. Have mercy on us, O Jesu.
Look on Him, for love untold, He Himself the Cross is bearing.
Come, ye daughters, share my wailing.
See ye! The Bridegroom see! See Him! A lamb is He.
Whom? How? A lamb is he.

No. 3: Dearest Jesus
Ah, dearest Jesu, how hast Thou offended, that such a bitter judgment has been handed? Where is Thy guilt, in what the great transgression, for Thy Confession?

No. 25: Oh, sorrow!
Ah, woe! What trembling fills His tortured breast! How sinks His heart! How pale His face oppressed!
Ah, what has brought on Thee this tribulation?
Before the Judge He must appear, there is no help, no comfort near.
'Tis my own sinning, naught of Thy transgression!
Such agonies doth Hell awaken: He must for others' sin be taken.
"Tis I, Lord Jesus, all the anguish own here which you atone here.
Ah, if my love Thy stay could be, My Savior, could calm Thy fear or share it, could make it less, or help to bear it, how gladly, how gladly would I watch with Thee!
