Bible study #8 - "get in the wheelbarrow"

I think final story in this bible study defines it completely:

Charles Blondin was the pseudonym of Jean Francois Gravelet (1824-97), French acrobat and tightrope walker. His career as an acrobat began when he was about 6 years old, and he quickly won acclaim for his daring performances, becoming known as the "Little Wonder". Outstanding among his hazardous feats were his exhibitions, in 1859 and 1860, on a 335.3 m long tightrope stretched 48.8m about Niagra Falls. Blondin varied his act, crossing the falls blindfolded, while pushing a wheelbarrow. With a man on his back and even while balancing on stilts.

The Story is told of him turning to the crown before on of His Niagra Falls crossings and asking: "Who believes I can walk across blindfolded, wheeling a wheelbarrow?" One man stepped forward, "I believe you can do it Blondin!"
"alright," said Blondin, "then get in the wheelbarrow!" I don't think the man did. But that's the real test of faith.

Am I ready to get in Jesus' wheelbarrow?
