Leading the Way Jesus Did.

Read John 10:11-10:19 

1. Leaders are people of good character (v11,14)
” I am the good Shepherd.”

2. Leaders love those they lead. (v11)
“The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

4. Leaders are never in it for the money (v13)
“The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep."

5. Leaders don’t run from problems. (v12)
” So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away."

6. Leaders put a major emphasis on relationship. (v14)
” I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me”

7. Leaders are never satisfied with the status quote. (v16)
“I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen, I must bring them also.”

8. Leaders work on building unity. (v16)
” They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one Shepherd.”

9. Leaders exercise proper biblical authority. (v18)
” I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

10. Leaders refuse to be swayed by public opinion. (v19)
“At these words the Jews were again divided. Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad.”
