There is no finer example for Christian leadership than our Lord Jesus Christ. He declared, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (John 10:11). It is within this verse that we see the perfect description of a Christian leader. Aleader is one who acts as a shepherd to those "sheep" in his care.
The shepherd (leader) is one who has several roles in regard to their sheep. They lead, feed, nurture, comfort, correct and protect. The shepherd of the Lord's flock leads by modeling godliness and righteousness in their own life and encouraging others to follow their example. The Apostle Paul understood this: "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1). The Christian leader is one who follows Christ and inspires others to follow Him as well.
