A question for Christians: What would you do if you suddenly ran into Jesus Christ? [View all]

Scenario:

You meet a person who claims to be Jesus Christ. You put this person to the test whether it really is Jesus Christ and it passes every single one of your tests.

Jesus Christ asks you to get rid of your material possessions and your established life and to join him on the road and to become one of his disciples.

Would you do it?

Would you give up everything you have to become one of Jesus Christ's disciples?
