We are not good at letting someone else lead us. We usually like to be in control and to call the shots. Jesus makes it clear, that when it comes to being a disciple, we must choose to let him lead us. There is no other way:
34-37 Calling
the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “Anyone who intends to come with me
has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t
run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help
is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your
true self. (Mark 8 - Eugene Peterson)
Thought: What do you find hard about sitting in the passenger seat?
“Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” —John C. Maxwell
