What do you suppose He would say to us?

• Work harder?
• Make more money?
• Be a better parent?
• Be a better employee?
• Go to church more often?
• Climb the corporate ladder faster?
• Read Your Bible more / pray more / do more good?
• Share the gospel more?
• Date more?

• "Follow me." (Jn 13^3-10)
• "Follow me. Drop your nets."
• "Follow me. Join me on your knees."
• "Follow me. Do what I have commanded you."
• "Follow me. Love one another as I have loved you."
• "Follow me. Feed, clothe, and visit me through these my brethren."
• "Follow me."
• "Follow me."

And then we can imagine Him removing His tunic, wrapping a towel around Himself, and getting on His knees for the most hurting folks in Maricopa County. (And turning to invite us to do the same.)

And isn't that what God has been doing since the Garden of Eden? Hasn't He been "on His knees" for His people ever since? Serving (by leading) His new people, the Israelites, out of Egypt? Serving and leading them through the wilderness? Serving and leading them through enemy nations? Serving and leading them through chastisement and challenge? Serving and leading them (us) out of religious slavery into freedom of relationship with Him? Serving and leading us into and through a 21^st Century Sodom and Gomorrah? Serving and leading us into Maricopa County's most hurting communities? Serving and leading us to go to our knees for Him by doing so for others?

(Isn't it ironic that the same posture we'll have when face-to-face with Him -- on our knees -- is the posture we're called to take when we serve Him ... by serving others? He must like us in that position. There must be many benefits to that posture ...)

What would Jesus say to us at Bank One Ballpark, you ask?

How about, "Follow me as I restore a broken world to the loving Father who sent me to serve and die for them ... (and you.)"

Will you follow us to Yankee Stadium and beyond?

Imagine a "Peace Corps" of 1,000,000+ Single Christians Monthly ...

On the third Saturday of every month, in every city in America where we have over 1,000 members, 1,000-5,000 single Christians meet in jeans and tee-shirts to head into a hurting, wounded, dying inner city. We rebuild city blocks. We clean up neighborhoods. We repaint homes and buildings, feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, tutor children, teach children to read. Partnering with existing evangelical ministries and agencies, we visit hospitals, rest homes, prisons, shut-ins and widows. we're trained in gentle evangelism. We become, for eight hours once per month, 1,000,000+ sets of Jesus' arms and legs. (Would He do anything different? Please let us know.) Hundreds of thousands of single servants permeating the cities of America every month in the name of Christ. A "domestic Peace Corps," if you will, of millions of men and women of God doing exactly as He'd do (and did) daily. We, the people of God speak and "flesh" the message of God (redemption and restoration) to the beloved of God. We get to walk with Him today just like first-century Peter, James, John and Bartholomew did. We may not get to physically see Him like they did, but we get to follow the Master just the same into His hurting world, where we'll watch Him invite His beloved into wholeness and restoration, and we'll carry the baton as He hands it back to us. We will be His arms and legs and voice. And He will continue inviting an unredeemed people back to Himself. What kind of impact for Christ could 57,000,000 obedient servants have on a wounded nation? We'll let you ponder. Then we'll e-mail you on the third Saturday of every month with our answer ...

Where did such a vision come from?  From two powerful questions ...

If Jesus flew into our International Airport one morning, with an eight-hour layover before the next (departure) leg of His trip, what would He do with those eight hours?     and ... "Lord, if you had chosen the twenty-first Century to come "down here" instead of the first, and you had designed an Internet website for single Christians that furthered your Kingdom, what would it look like?"

Which Produced Two Powerful and Convicting Answers ...

Face-to-face during those eight hours, we'd propose that, just like the first Century, Jesus would (a) invite believers and unbelievers to draw near and follow Him ... then He would (b) send us out with the message of the Kingdom to others. His website, were He to create one, would merely be an electronic extension of Himself ... It would (a) invite believers and unbelievers to draw near and follow Him ... then it would (b) send us out with the message of the Kingdom to others. (Please tell us what you think. We'll publish your answers here.) How would He invite us, by the way? The same way He did in the first Century. Through words and simultaneous actions that fleshed out the words. God has been a consistent invitation since the beginning of redemptive history. Everything God has done, Old Testament and New, has been an invitation to an unredeemed people to come to the Redeemer. Then the redeemed are sent with the message of the Kingdom to others.

Six Thousand Years of Consistent Action ...

We believe that consistency would continue uninterrupted here in the 21st Century. We believe Jesus would step down from that airplane, pause to gesture to us, His people, that we follow Him (individually), then lead us to the hurting, wounded and needy whom He could invite into the Kingdom of God, then, as He boarded His flight for the next leg, commission us to continue inviting them into the Kingdom of God. And we imagine that the best place to find the highest densities of those who will admit to being hurting, wounded and downtrodden is in the inner cities of America.

From an Imaginary Answer to a Real One ...

This is the real twenty-first Century, and our cities are filled with real hurting, real wounded, real needy, and we believe the real Jesus is inviting us to follow Him to them.
