Christ as a Leader


      (Part One)
Through out the various chapters of the Bible the charismatic and transformational leadership of Jesus clearly illustrates Him as a great teacher. Jesus as a leader represents Himself as a doer rather than a talker. He instructed others to keep God’s commandments and model them as well.
Jesus in His teaching ministry lead the people by example and His responds to criticism show the quality that Christ possess as a leader. His teachings never contradict his act; instead His life styles were lesson to those around Him.
As Christians we are met to take heed to ourselves, less our life styles would not contradict our doctrine.”Jesus life always portray His message, He provides Himself as a good example to others; especially when He told Peter to go to the river and catch a fish so that they can pay the tax man his money, this single act is enough to prove to the world that Christ was a role model. The way Christ lived His life when He was on earth never oppose what He teach.
However, the greatest epistles we can present to the world around us is living epistles.

Something To Think About

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? (Romans 2:1-3 NIV)

Don't look down on those who do not know God. The fact that we do does not make us better than them, we are just in a better position. Those of us who know God are not perfect, but we are made perfect in Him. If we are true to ourselves we know that we don't always do what is right, the only difference between believers and people of the world is that we have a God who can put it right.
People of the world need our prayer, encouragement and example. Not our judgement.
