Leading

Talking to God all night. That’s what Jesus did the night before he chose his disciples. The selections were too important. The Son desired clarity from the Father. Luke says it this way:

Leading out of reverence for God . . . now that puts leadership in a truly biblical perspective.

Be leery of reluctant leaders. Their skin is not thick enough, their roots aren’t deep enough, and their commitment is not strong enough.

But, remember, every movement leading to the cross was fulfilling Scripture. Jesus came to give His life as a ransom for us. Nothing took place outside of God’s sovereign plan.
