WWJD?

The popular Christian slogan, emblazoned on bracelets, bumper stickers, and t-shirts is "What Would Jesus Do?" or WWJD? This seems to be just a little line to exhort Christians to behave more like their King. As I was reading my Bible this week, however, I ran across Galatians 2:20. It says:

"For I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the on of God who loved me and gave himself for me."

I would like to put forward that we, in our own human strength, can never be Christ-like. We have to die to ourselves and allow Christ to live through us. So perhaps, a better slogan would be WCCDTM: "What Can Christ Do Through Me?"
