When a world-famous Hindu mentions Jesus in a positive way, a person might want to stop and think about it just a bit.
The famous Hindu is Mahatma Gandhi.
The Jesus shout-out is worthy of contemplation:
Live like Jesus did,
and the world will listen.
While I can't be sure, I'm thinking Gandhi wasn't necessarily referring to wearing sandals, keeping Kosher, and never marrying. And I'd be willing to wager he wasn't focusing on serving a carpentry internship, walking everywhere, or speaking in Aramaic, either.
What I DO think will make a difference in this world...enough of a difference that people will notice...is if we who bear the name Christian will live lives fueled by generosity instead of greed, compassion instead of selfishness, and humility instead of prideful aggression.

Truth is...the point isn't so much What Would Jesus Do? as it is How Would Jesus Be?
