"Look well at my handpicked servant;
I love him so much, take such delight in him.
I've placed my Spirit on him;
he'll decree justice to the nations.
But he won't yell, won't raise his voice;
there'll be no commotion in the streets.
He won't walk over anyone's feelings,
won't push you into a corner.
Before you know it, his justice will triumph;
the mere sound of his name will signal hope, even
among far-off unbelievers. " Matthew 12:18-21
- Jesus is favored by God with unbelievable love and we are asked to delight in Him.
delight-to give great pleasure, satisfaction, or enjoyment to; please highly: The show delighted everyone.
Do people enjoy your leadership or endure it?
-Jesus leads with justice and doesn't need to yell or raise His voice to do so.
Do you lead with the verbal stick of intimidation and threats?
-He is not into belittling you or playing politics or games with you.
Does your organization have unwritten rules and levels of needless affirmation and approval that bring division, competition, and isolation?
-His name no matter what statistics, surveys, or popular belief holds, brings hope.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when your name is spoken?
