What Would Jesus Do? Seeing Compassion in Full Color | In Color | Chad Belew

We tend to think the world has gotten darker — but maybe our vision just needs recalibrating. Just like your eyes need light to reveal the color that was there all along, Jesus came as the light to show us what humanity looks like at its best: love in action. Walking through the healing of the bent-over woman in Luke 13, Chad reframes the old "What Would Jesus Do?" question by watching Jesus break a Sabbath rule to restore a daughter of Abraham — proving that people matter more than any rule, and compassion never needs permission. When we keep our eyes fixed on him, we start seeing in full color what we'd always seen in black and white: image-bearers who just want to belong and be loved.

In this episode:

- An eyesight illustration and a color-perception experiment: light doesn't create what's there, it reveals it

- Matthew 6 on the eyes as windows, and how attention "framing" decides what we notice — rules and threats, or compassion and suffering

- Luke 13:10-17: Jesus sees a woman crippled for 18 years, calls her forward on the Sabbath, and heals her

- Why "daughter of Abraham" is a radical word of belonging for someone society labeled unclean

- Reclaiming "What Would Jesus Do?" — the WWJD bracelet as a reminder that love, not the rule, is the answer

- The kingdom of God as a mustard seed and yeast: small moral acts of kindness that quietly change everything
