Live and Lead Like Jesus

I love reading the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  It takes the life of Jesus - and makes Him come alive, tells His stories, and allows us to learn from Him.  

As a follower of Jesus, in any area of our lives, we have the privilege and opportunity to live and lead like Jesus did.  

How did He live and lead?  What does it take for us?

(no way does this cover it "all" - just a few thoughts)

1. Intimacy with the Father.  SO important for all of us - prayer, filter, for God to change us - our hearts and minds, and steer us back, guide us, keep us - in His heart, His eyes, His plan.
   
2. Sensitivity to others.  When we  become a follower of Christ, a danger is to forget where we came from - having he heart of Jesus requires being sensitive to ALL kinds of people - like Jesus was.
   
3. Resilience to the Mission.  Jesus always kept focused on what He had come to do.
   
4. Loyal to truth and the Message.  Jesus was the truth and the message.  As we remain loyal to Him - we will remain loyal to His message.
   
5. Lots of GRACE.  We live in a world of PEOPLE - we are those PEOPLE!  It takes MUCH grace - oh, to live and lead like Jesus here.....how do we do it?  Back to the first one - Intimacy with the Father!
