Leadership of Jesus

I meet with few guys to study the leadership of Jesus and it is
fascinating. This past week we looked at how Jesus led under stress.
Leaders all always leading even when they are lost in their own
stuff. This session was power packed and I think altered the way we
will lead through stress and how we will prepare for it. One of the
key factors for leaders is to make sure the patterns of holiness are
established before the hot moment, patterns of community, prayer,
scripture, worship, giving, serving. As Jesus was about to have the
worst day of his life the scripture says he went to the Mount of
Olives as was his custom. His custom, connecting with the God of the
universe, experiencing the Father's love and re-entering the mission
are key factors for any leader. Stressful times are going to come but
our customs, our patterns can be the source of nourishment in the
middle of "it". Thanks to the guys who are taking this journey with
me, paying the price and developing the heart of a lion, after the
Lion of Judah!!!
