#Bloganuary is a month of blog prompts/questons that WordPress uses to get us bloggers off to a good start in the new year.

Day 19 – What makes a good leader? 

To me, all the attributes of Jesus Christ “shout” good leadership. 

• He led His disciples by example. 
• He taught them how to do things by showing them.
• He used love and gentleness, but was stern when required.
• He was willing to jeopardize and actually lay down His life for His followers.
• He was bold in the face of the enemy.
• He was honest and good. 
• He was compassionate.
• He answered their questions honestly.
• He made sure to supply all they needed.
• He had patience with his followers.
• He was kind to and respected women.
• He loved and demanded protection for children.
• His requirements for his followers were easy and light. 
• And when they were hard, He prayed for them to have strength to endure.
• He was “straight up” about the dangers they would face.
• He restored gently those who failed him, eager for them to take up new orders.
• He gave them definate instructions and the “back up” they needed to follow them. 
• He absolutely loved his followers.

(If you are a believer and have some knowledge of the New Testament in the Bible, see if you can connect each of the above with a scripture passage.)
