I don't think that these mannequins lost their heads so that they'd fit in the display window. My gut tells me that the reason their heads are missing is to force us to focus on the clothes, besides who looks like a mannequin anyway (with or without heads). They're Ken and Barbie on steroids.
When people look at our lives what do they see?
"So these [Greeks] came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus.'" John 12:21 English Standard Version
When people come to us they want to see Jesus.
Granted, we can't lead them to the physical presence of Jesus on this planet as Philip could, yet people want to know that the Jesus we believe in is real. The expression of who Jesus is and the forgiveness he has offered to his people is seen in us.
This is more than a simple bracelet acronym: WWJD. We will never live up to who Jesus was when he dwelt among us. People see Jesus in us when we walk in grace. Grace is not something that you and I can conjure up. It is wholly and completely a gift of God through Jesus' sacrifice.
Grace is about God and not about us. We lead people to Jesus when they see his grace at work in us.
