“Setting an example is not the way to lead, but it is the only way to lead.”- Anonymous
Today, the term leadership has many different meanings. Ask two different people to define leadershipand you will receive two different definitions. Has leadership become so complex that no one is able to put a finger for one definite answer?
It is true that the term leadership is complex. We can find many leadership books in bookstores teaching us how to lead effectively and productively. But I believe for those of us who are in Christ have the definition in our hands already.
Jesus is the perfect role model of true leadership. The way to lead effectively is through our actions. Jesus Himself did what He then commanded us to do.
Jesus did the job of a “servant” by washing his disciples feet. Jesus cooked breakfast for his disciples by the Sea of Galilee, which was suppose to be a “women’s” job back in His time. Jesus did those things because I believe He wasn’t just telling and instructing us believers what we must or have to do, but He was showing us how to. We love people through our actions; similarly, we lead people through our actions.
If my God did all those things, then what does that say of me? What does that say of us?
