Capacity
November 10, 2019 • Peter Mueller
When Christ renews us, the Holy Spirit guides and empowers us. We are capable of doing so much more than we could have done before. By laying down his life, Jesus expanded the capacity of others to love and give and live more fully. A selfish leader will be focused on increasing his own capacity—expanding his wealth, his fame, and his power over others. A servant leader will focus on expanding the capacity of others. Just as a good teacher is willing to look foolish if it will teach her students an important lesson, a true leader may be willing to sacrifice her own capacity if it serves to expand the capacity of others.
