God's solution to bad leadership is more leadership, not less.

Good News Weekly Message

Reporters and writers are often looking for sound bites—short, attention-grabbing statements they can turn into a headline. When Jesus spoke—whether to massive crowds or just his closest followers, he didn’t give them unsatisfying samples of his divine wisdom. With his words, he always aimed to leave his hearers full. This week we consider the source of the sound bites we are consuming. By comparing himself to a shepherd who tends a flock of sheep, Jesus makes it clear that his interest in all that he does—including what he says—is our good. In contrast to other voices who seek to lead and influence, our good shepherd wants us to follow him, not for his gain, but for ours.
