Christ, the best leader you can ever have

What makes a leader? Is a leader someone that has a commanding presence and gets folks to fall in line out of intimidation? Is a leader just a nice person that others get along with and just want to hang out with? Is a leader someone that just keeps their mouth shut and goes out and does stuff and get people to follow the example they set? I think about this stuff a lot. I see plenty of people in a leadership position daily but I do not see them as leaders. Most of us know a leader when we see one but it seems that real ones, the type that you would follow into the fires, are few and far between. So where can we go to see true leadership? Where can we look to see the best example of who and what a leader is? The answer is the bible. Christ was and is the greatest example that we can look to. He led through authority and humility. He led through strength and weakness. He led by word and by deed. He is the standard that we still hold ourselves against to this day. Knowing this the question is, if He is such a great leader, why are folks reluctant to follow Him? We have example after example to show us that He will not leave us or let us down. We have seen time and time again where He provided for His people, and even now we can see in our own daily lives how He is with us. The point I am trying to make is this. Stop looking for someone to lead you or to give you the answers and put you on the right path. You already have the best leader ever available to you. All you have to do is choose to follow Him.
