I’ve spent the last couple of minutes reflecting on the idea that Jesus never begged anyone to follow him.
A leader who chases after followers is like a dog who chases its tail. A true leader never has to be asked to follow him, but the common man seeks out and follows the great leaders and finds the right path. Remember a great leader never begs someone.
A so-called leader who begs for followers is not a leader. A leader leads.
A leader does not push followers from behind.
But, a leader who searches for lost followers is a shepherd.
