What makes a leader?

So what makes a leader? How do you know a good leader when you see one? Why would you follow? The prophet Micah talks about a coming leader who will bring peace. He notes the failures of Israel's "leaders" in their self absorbed lust for power and riches. Jesus led, yet he owned nothing. Solomon led, yet he failed and his kingdom was divided after he died. Being a leader means keeping hope alive in others. They serve, they focus on others not themselves. They balance sensitivity with responsibility. All of this matters as to who you will follow. And why. Think on that as you "worship" this week.....
