Scripture Passage: Matthew 20:20-28
Leadership Calls for Sacrifice.
It takes personal sacrifice to be a leader. Jesus left His exalted place in Heaven to come down to the earth to die for men; it was a sacrifice. Moses left his home and returned to Egypt to set Israel free; it was a sacrifice. Nehemiah left the comfort of the king’s palace to go and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem; it was a sacrifice.
If you want to be a great leader you must be willing to let go of something. Sacrifice is the way up.
Prayer: Father, help me to let go of what I have in order to become the leader you want me to be.
