The thoroughly unsettling and profoundly dangerous nature of radical grace is impossible to argue, is well beyond reason or logic to convince, yet is basic, the start, to "follow Christ." Square One. All supports to faith--doctrine, tradition, the Bible itself, and so forth--is preparation for the launching pad of Square One. 

Following does not mean tag along--or acting and imitating, modeling his life of giving with the haunting, WWJD. This is not even close. We are called TO BE as Christ was in the world, not copy his works. He had none. The Father did them all. Jesus did one thing and one thing only: he fully surrendered to the will and direction of his Father. Diligently studying the Scriptures with the finest methods and grandest intents does not solve or resolve in itself the question of BECOMING; that is only for the heart through a surrender to grace. Square One.
