What does leading look like as a follower of Christ?
Doing, Giving and Telling is how we can lead in our walk with Jesus.
Doing, our actions, are a way to lead as Christians. People pay attention to whether what we are doing matches with we say we believe, who/what we stand for.
Giving is another way to lead. Where our dollars go, Jesus can go. Vicariously being a missionary is absolutely possible through our giving and it doesn’t just have to be in a far away place. Giving right here at Trinity is a form of leading by supporting the Word and Sacrament ministry that WE receive.
Finally, telling, telling others who Jesus is. What does that look like for you personally? Have you ever tried it? Has God put those opportunities in front of you but you maybe weren’t ready for them? How do you get ready for them and lead people to Jesus through telling others who Jesus is?
Ultimately, we can all joyfully lead, lead people to Jesus. There is nothing more important, but it is also quite a challenge. With God’s help, you too can lead joyfully, through the strength and guidance of His Spirit.
