Why is it that He always gets in the way of what we’re doing “for Him?” (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Isn’t it all about being a great leader “for Him?” Why does He have to come along and mess that up?
Check out Rick Luoni’s powerful words about how Jesus ruins it for the rest of us leaders…
Jesus changed my idea of being a leader. I used to think I wanted to be a Christian leader until I took a close glimpse of Jesus. I figure that if I am going to be a leader in the Church I ought to have a perspective on how the dude who started it all led.
And Jesus kind of blows it for Christian leaders doesn�t he? For if I really want to lead like Jesus then I get to die like Jesus. Dying sucks. Why waste death on someone with my talents. That seems a bit silly.
And his bottom line…
Leadership is really what the Church needs now – not more “Christian” leaders like me. If you are looking for a leader, don�t look up�look down, they are usually the ones with the dirty rag in their hand on their knees beside Jesus. As for me, I don�t have the guts to lead like Jesus so I settle for being a Christian leader.
