		<description>Thanks for bringing that up, Troy. In one sense it is not possible to live this way. That being said, I still found it meaningful and possible in another sense - the sense which I believe is Luther&#039;s intended meaning. Regarding the future, Luther is also known to have said, &quot;Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.&quot; Did he really mean that, or was he trying to say something else? It would help to have more of the context of these quotes. 

I think what struck me in this quote was the thought of the significance of all three of these events to my everyday life, which is the point I believe Luther is getting at. You could take his quote too literally which would probably lead to craziness, much like the saying, &quot;What would Jesus do?&quot; In most specific scenarios, we don&#039;t have any clue what Jesus would do. So, it&#039;s not even helpful to ask that question. Would Jesus ever wear a tie? Would Jesus play NBA Jam with me and my friends? Would Jesus have a blog? A more helpful question to ponder the answer to would be, &quot;What has Jesus done?&quot; This is really material for a separate blog, but I still think that the WWJD statement can be helpful if you use it to remember Christ&#039;s example in general and try to follow him. Like the fact that we know Jesus was loving, forgiving, sacrificial, and so on. I think the same way about this quote. The significance of Christ&#039;s death and the joy of Christ&#039;s resurrection should be as real to me as if it happened today. And the joy of His return should be a real joy and a hope that is evident in my life like I truly believe tomorrow or even tonight could be the day! Today, live in light of what you know about the past, present, and future work of Christ. </description>
