Leadership is the ability of someone to lead, in short. Many definitions have been given regarding leadership. There are a lot of books talking about leadership and many pieces of training and courses about leadership are given on a daily basis. Some people say leadership is innate—implying that some are born leaders. Even in some cultures, when a child is born, it is decided whether he or she will become a leader—though this is not certain! Many people find being a leader as an opportunity to have honor, fame, riches, or any other thing else. Others due to self-underestimation think they are born to be led rather than to lead!
As humans, we have within ourselves a tendency to dominate something and wherever there is more than one person, leadership can be manifested. The world records many leaders who have existed—it is hard to exhaust the list on this one page! Emperors, kings, princes, ministers, Pharaohs, Czars, Presidents, chancellors, Generals, Company CEOs, Chairpersons, Officers, Mentors, Trainers, ETCETERA! Every leader who existed had a beginning and an end because of human mortality—we all share this mortality indeed! All leaders who existed did a lot of things to humans but one thing is beyond their power—death! Nevertheless, the world has known a leader more powerful than all the others due to His power to impart immortality!
The Leader I am talking about existed before the foundation of this World—His existence is for eternal ages because He is immortal. He is divine and He had to become incarnate in order to lead this World subject to death! His incarnation was foretold to humans—Adam and Eve—4000 years before His birth. Later, Some hundred years before His incarnation-birth a certain Israelite who used to talk with God—a prophet—whose name is Isaiah who, when filled with the Holy Spirit’s power, foretold His birth in these words “…Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel—meaning GOD IS WITH US!” This name implies that the Divinity was about to dwell in Humanity through a virgin without the need of a man—this is a mystery beyond human understanding! How can it be that a child can be born without the presence of a man’s intervention? No one can be able to give an answer to this tough question as we have very limited knowledge!
Specifically, concerning the Leadership of this foretold Child, the same prophet Isaiah in his inspired writings prophesized “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.” What wonderful name attributions are given to this Child! All these names imply that this Child would become more special than any other born-leader the world has ever recorded! This passage is from my most favorite book called the Bible—The New King James Version—in the book written by the prophet Isaiah.
The time came when all the prophecies were fulfilled and the Child was born in Bethlehem a small city of Palestine. A name was given to the Son, ‘Jesus-Christ’! The name ‘Jesus’ comes from the Hebrew ‘Yahushuwah’ meaning ‘Jehovah saves’ and ‘Christ’ is a Greek name meaning ‘the Messiah’, the Anointed One! Jesus’ birth is celebrated by most of the Christians on every December 25th on a Day called ‘Christmas’—though this date is not historically true. Mary the mother of Jesus gave birth to Jesus while in the manger due to the lack of a convenient place to receive such a mighty Son! The world didn’t much recognize Him as it should be, though He was ‘God-Man’! In order to become the Leader of this World, Jesus-Christ, had to live a perfectly sinless life and pass through an agonizing death on a hill called Calvary outside Jerusalem as it was prophesized. It happened when on the 3rd day—after His Death—was raised by God Himself to live immortally! After He was resurrected and about to ascend to Heaven, He was given authority in heaven and on earth as He revealed it to His disciples, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” as it is recorded in the Gospel according to Mathew—one of His disciple!
One of the powerful word Jesus-Christ said regarding His Power to give immortality—the ability that no other human leader can provide—is found in the Gospel of John, who has been His closest disciple on earth, is as follows, “For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish (die) but have everlasting life (immortality).” This is really what makes Jesus the world’s best leader I have ever known—has the power to give immortality to everyone who believes in Him! Though we may face illness or the physical death, His promise is sure and some people were resurrected as a token to immortality and taken in Heaven as an undeniable sign that those who believe in Him are made immortal—destined to live eternally with God!
12 years ago, I heard about Jesus and decided to believe in Him for the rest of my life, as my personal Lord and Savior! Since then, I have really started enjoying the Life He gives—a life of love, joy, peace, holiness, hope, and thankfulness! Jesus-Christ left to us the most sacred Book—the Bible—through which we can stay in touch with Him through the power of His Spirit! If you want to find Him personally and experience the immortality He gives, check Him daily in that Holy Book—the Bible! Bible is available everywhere either as a soft-copy or hard-copy, I am just writing this small page for you to join me in having faith in Jesus-Christ, who is alive and about to return soon to take all who believed in Him—I included—to the Heavenly glorious Kingdom that he has been preparing for us since 2000 years ago! This is a “life-or-death” decision and PLEASE don’t miss the greatest privilege ever given to man, the privilege of being called ‘a Son or a Daughter of GOD the Highest Jehovah’ through having faith in Jesus-Christ!
What a blessed thought! I'm one of the happiest people who followed this immortal Leader, The Majesty of the Universe. Whosoever believe in Him shall not perish because Eternity belongs to them.
