  1. Thanks Tim.

    Leadership is also recognising that God has a plan – that he has an end in mind. It's an end we cannot head toward ourselves – we can't because it involves us reaching the end of ourselves. His plan is that instead of our ministry being ONLY what we execute that we BECOME our leadership – that our influence be who we as people have become. We sometimes use the phrase "life is what happens to us when we are making other plans". There is a very real sense that the Christian life is like this. It doesn't mean that the things we do have no value – it does mean that God is seeking to bring a value to them which we cannot bring about without his help.

    Although we can know what God's intention is with us there is no way in which we can understand the MEANS by which he does – we cannot because he is leading us to the cross – to reaching the end of ourselves – to our dying with Jesus,. We do however know that dying with Jesus will involve the following things (there may be others):

    – isolation. Gethsemane – choosing God's way instead of ours involves us being at various times completely isolated from others. Jesus was the world's greatest leader yet on the day he died he had no followers (except a couple of women who stood with him during his death instead of abandoning him).

    -irrationality and uncertainty.
    "What is going to happen to me? Where am I being taken? Why is God allowing this to happen to me?"

    – sacrifice. Jesus wasn't a perfect sacrifice because on the day of his death he submitted to it – he was the perfect sacrifice because throughout his life he submitted to his father's will – we are called to the same.

    – humiliation/disgrace. Dying with Jesus involves having our identity and calling from God questioned. And like Jesus God will ask us not to prove ourselves by asserting ourselves – instead we may be required to remain silent.
