What does it take to be a good leader? Good question!
What does it take to be a good follower? Just as good of a question!
We will all have some leadership in life in our families, church ministry, the workplace and community groups. Others will imitate our example or listen to our advice or look to us to guide them. And we want to lead well.
Being a good follower is equally desirable. In our Christian walk with the Lord, we will never be the ultimate and highest leader. Jesus took that position when he stood out in front of us to sacrifice his life for our forgiveness, and then to be the first to rise from the dead with the promise of bringing us with him to eternal life. His teaching leads and guides us with the authority of God himself. With the Lord before us and beside us, we will always look to his lead in the matters of his kingdom.
We all have the opportunity to fine-tune our ability to follow in a way that is beneficial for ourselves and others. Join us we strive for excellence in Christian “followership” over the next few weeks at worship!
