Church Focus for 2016
Faith Moment by Pastor Mike Tucker
A LEADER
I like this descrip>on of one man’s quest to become a leader.
The ar>cle is anonymous. “I went on a search to become a leader.
I searched high and low. I spoke with authority. People listened. But alas, there was one who was wiser than I,
and they followed that individual. I sought to inspire confidence, but the crowd
responded, “Why should I trust you?” I postured, and I assumed the look of leadership with a
countenance that flowed with confidence and pride. But many passed me by and never no#ced my air of elegance. I ran ahead of the others, pointed the way to new heights.
I demonstrated that I knew the route to greatness. And then I looked back, and I was alone.
“What shall I do?” I queried. “I’ve tried hard and used all that I know.”
And I sat down and pondered long. And then, I listened to the voices around me.
And I heard what the group was trying to accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the work.
As we worked, I asked, “Are we all together in what we want to do and how to get the job done?”
And we thought together, and we fought together, and we struggled toward our goal.
I found myself encouraging the fainthearted. I sought the ideas of those too shy to speak out. I taught those who had li*le skill. I praised those
who worked hard. When our task was completed, one of the group turned to me and said,
“This would not have been done but for your leadership.”
At first, I said, “I didn’t lead. I just worked with the rest.” And then I understood that leadership
is not a goal. It’s a way to reaching a goal. I lead best when I help others to go where we’ve decided
to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves crea#vely. I lead best when
I forget about myself as leader and focus on my group…their needs and their goals.
To lead is to serve…to give…to achieve together.”
To this I would add the words of Jesus; Ma*hew 20-25-28
But Jesus called them to Him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gen#les lord
it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you
must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be
served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
