Peace, sweet peace finally comes to men when they humbly yield to the gentle pressure of the Spirit.
Jesus said several times, βCome, follow me.β His was a program of βdo what I do,β rather than βdo what I say.β His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
