A phrase that originated with Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon in 1891 has lost its original meaning. The question "What Would Jesus Do?" was later popularized in a novel by Charles Sheldon and on bracelets created by a Michigan youth leader. It has become a common saying on accessories and vehicles, but its impact on daily life is limited.
The phrase was initially asked by Spurgeon to his congregation, and its significance has faded over time. A Pew Research Center poll found that a majority of US and Texas adults identify with Christianity.
Further details about the phrase's history and its current significance are available from the source.
