It’s much easier to challenge others to do evangelism, than to be personally involved in it. This is especially true if we find ourselves in a leadership position.
One key biblical principle, is that leaders must do what they call others to do. A leader does not hang back waiting to see what others are doing and then follow them. A leader is out front, demonstrating how to live and act. A godly leader does not conform to the status quo but sets the standard for others to follow. According to today’s verse, a leader who follows Christ, leads by example.
One way this can be demonstrated is by placing a string on a table. When you pull the string, it will follow you. But if you push it, it bunches up and doesn’t move forward. When it comes to leading people, things go much the same way. They need to follow a person who is out front and leading by example.
Today Christ, the greatest leader of all, shows true leadership by taking a towel and washing his disciples’ feet. When he finished, he said, “I have set an example that you should do as I have done for you.” That’s leadership! When it comes to ministry, leaders must do it first. They are to lead the way in following Christ and sharing Christ with others.
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 (Corinthians 11:1).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, you came to seek, to serve, and to save. Father we want to follow this example, in our leadership. As we do, may we be useful in leading others to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
