 \nSome leaders show no air of self-im-portance—some are full of vanity.There are bullies among the leader class—and gentlemen.There are strongmen—and cowards.Some attract allmen equally—others make their pointwith a small \"in-group”(called“hench-men”),and through them influenceothers.Many of this second type aredespised by the non-leaders,but theyfollow them.  \n# JESUS THE LEADER\n\nJesus was in that select group ofpersons who could have a few intimatefriends—say fifteen or so—yet Henever lost His personal appeal to thou-sands of individuals.Even now,youdon't feel that you cannot be close toJesus because John was such a goodfriend of His.The special relation ofJesus with Peter does not seem to in-terfere in the least with His relationto me.  \nDo you see what we're getting at?It's hard to define,but you do meet afew persons in life who have this samegift.They seem to be able to givethemselves completely to a limitlessnumber of individuals—and not onlywhile talking to them!  \n# JESUS THE FRIEND\n\nWhat we have just said seems to de-scribe friendship as well as it doesleadership.That's because a leader is  \na friend at his best.The fine featureabout it is,there are certain areas —the things you are interested in,forexample —where he follows you.  \nWhen we read the Gospels withcare,we immediately see something ofthe magnetic quality of Jesus'person-ality.It's true that Christ acquired agood number of close friends,who hadbeen ready-formed in piety by Johnthe Baptist.These friends took reli-gion seriously,eight or ten of them atleast.They really cared!When Johnturned them over to Jesus,they wentto Him—and this gives us a goodclue to the character of Jesus!Althoughat the moment Christ was an unknown,these new-found friends followed theStranger!  \n# WHAT PEOPLE LOOKED FORIN JESUS\n\nRemember,Jesus wasn't even fromJudea —and it's hard to imagine thecontempt which the sophisticated peo-ple from the South(Judea)had forthe bashful bumpkins(the“hicks”)in the North(Galilee).We have grownused to the idea that Jesus is of thetribe of Juda and the house of David.And we are likely to think that all pi-ous Jews at the time of Christ wereclear as to where the Messiah was tocome from.Not at all!There were allsorts of conflicting theories.Most com-monly held was the “house of David”theory,for the people thought He hadto be a king.Down along the DeadSea,however,the monks of Qumranwere expecting a “Messiah of Israeland Aaron”(two!).Some of the prieststhought He had to be the son of apriest(which Jesus wasn't).And to  \nJesus Calls His Disciples  \ngoods,He said,“Follow Me.”Thatdidn't mean,\"Walk this way.”Itmeant,\"Be of My company —ten,twenty years,a lifetime!”Jesus letthem know that the reign of God theyall awaited had arrived—and wassomehow centered on Him.  \nthis fact is the personal pull whichJesus exerted on them.They were real-ly drawn to this Man!  \nimagine that a descendant of Davidwould successfully re-establish thethrone —well,that was as much ex-pected in Galilee as that our next Pres-ident of the United States would be anative of Timbuktu!“Study the Scrip-tures and you will find that prophetsdo not come from Galilee.\"(John7:52.)That was a well known gibe,a bit ofcontempt,which the Jerusalem leadershurled at the Galileans.Most of thetwelve men Jesus chose as His Apos-tles were from Galilee.Yet,that didnot keep Nathanael from wise-crack-ing,“Can any good come from Nazar-eth?”(Nathanael was from Cana,nearby.)  \nIn the first place,He was mysteri-ous.There was so much you couldn'tknow about Him.What could be knownwas admirable,but there was so muchmore to this Teache","cbCaihQmoXYY0Eko","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihQmoXYY0Eko","pdf",1623906,16,"English","# JESUS: LORD - CHRIST\n## JESUS THE LEADER\n## JESUS THE FRIEND\n## WHAT PEOPLE LOOKED FOR IN JESUS\n## WHY PEOPLE FOLLOWED JESUS\n## WHAT PEOPLE FOUND IN JESUS","[{\"question\":\"How does the essay define leadership through Jesus?\",\"answer\":\"It compares leadership to having a special personal charm and argues that Jesus belonged to a group whose appeal draws individuals deeply.
