What if?

What if we all got on the slippery slope of the gospel? It occurs to me that we make our arguments and quibble over textual accuracy because the gospel itself is so uncomfortably clear. Jesus said "Follow Me" into a life of self sacrifice, utter surrender. Why because the kingdom of God is at hand. Well 2000 years later it doesn't seem to be here, but then again maybe it is at hand if we would follow. It is right there in our grasp.
Think about what could happen if everyone who calls themselves Christian would buy the whole program - total surrender and self sacrifice - the giant sucking sound would be the world as we know it sliding down the slippery slope into the vacuum created by when Christians empty themselves as Christ emptied himself. I think the slope is indeed slippery but the fingernails of self reliance and selfishness cut deep into the surface and the layers of dug in believers make it a bumpy ride for one individual to take. But what if? We all let go - I think we might just be in for one hell of a good ride.
