Jesus said:
Luke 4:18
King James Version
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
What is the work you do?
Who do you lead?
Who do you serve?
What is your greater vision?
What do you think true leadership means?
The Bible shows that Jesus, the man of sorrows, served the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and other forgotten people.
The Lord gave up His life for us.
Matthew 20:28
King James Version
28 Even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto,
but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom for many.
If you only serve the rich, what good would that do?
The poor will all the more be forgotten.
You would have caused a greater divide.
Won't you rather that everyone have a roof over their heads, have proper food, live and work safely, and securely, and not be a slave to anyone?
Can you bear lording it over everyone, when others are suffering everywhere?
Can you turn a blind eye to the needs of others?
Will it not be better we pray to Jesus, to please show us the way, so we may serve others better?
And perhaps, to even show us the best work to do, that would truly benefit others?
That is the call of leadership now.
That we have a heart.
And that heart, must be of God.
