“ Leadership is the fruit, not the tree. Jesus leadership just happens. Jesus tells us to be a servant. That is his form of leadership. Stop working to be a leader. Be a servant and people will follow your lead. We have been soaked in the concept that leadership must be fashioned, focused on, and purposely practiced. Jesus doesn't teach that at all. Jesus clearly—and repeatedly—modeled and instructed his followers to focus on and practice servantship.” (p. 86)

“If we think we have perfect vision, we'll never go to the eye doctor to get our eyes checked. And if we fancy ourselves as having flawless spiritual insight, we might not even recognize the real Jesus when He appears on the scene of our lives. But the good news for people with weak vision is that Jesus came to bring recovery of sight to those who need it. There's a prayer the Apostle Paul records in the book of Ephesians, asking that the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened, that they would be opened to the hope we have in Jesus (Eph. 1:18). When Jesus stoops to open our eyes, the rest of the world starts making a lot more sense.”
