The Price of Leadership
Summary
What is a leader? In the Bible, it's usually a person who regularly says "yes" to God, inspiring others to follow in their shoes. The Bible makes it clear that saying "yes" to God may bring great suffering, but it will also bring opportunities to live a meaningful, purposeful, and constructive life. The first "yes" is accepting God's offer of forgiveness and eternal life. Given the suffering involved, why should we consider pursuing this kind of leadership? Because it is the best expression of love for God.
