Why do you lead ? Luke 21:5-8

15^th March 2015

The word leader actually means one who guides or one with authority. But several times we forget that leadership is always with a purpose. The position is actually to help others work towards realizing the vision. He/she as a leader is just, first among the equals to make sure things keep moving in the right direction for a larger cause.

Therefore, if leadership means larger cause, probably we are in a big trouble these days. Today we are witness to great individualism and solo heroics. Then as time progresses, one witnesses concentration of power for the selfish motives and narrow intentions.   In these last days those who claim to be the Messiah actually are so selfish and very narrowly placed. They only seek a fan following and some material benefits out of the whole effort. It is never to lead the followers to the eternal.

You and I must lead must lead them to the eternal. If not this will die down as it has happened in the past.
