Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[This week, we are looking at a new phase in Jesus’ Ministry.] This phase in Jesus\u2019 life is focused on leadership development. As the movement continues to grow, Jesus begins to hand-select from His disciples a few to be servant leaders of the movement. After a full night of prayer, consulting with His Father, Jesus appoints twelve men who will begin their apprenticeship as leaders and will eventually become the leaders of the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very important stage in the movement, and I trust you are ready to learn about leadership development from the Master. Jesus has been working now for two and a half years, building a tight bond between Himself and His disciples, calling them first to \u201cCome and see\u201d<\/em> (John 1:39). During this time, He explains to them that He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and that He is the Christ. He explains who He is from Scripture and they chose to believe in Him as the Messiah. He then challenges them to \u201cFollow Me\u201d<\/em> (John 1:43). During this next stage as a Christ-followers, they learn that Jesus is not only the way<\/strong> to God but that He is the truth<\/strong>. Jesus is daily revealing to them more of who He is. He is teaching them that He is fully God and fully man, the God\/Man who came to earth as the Saviour of the world. Jesus spends a time growing these new believers in Him. He then issues His third call to \u201cCome, follow me and I will make you fishers of men\u201d<\/em> (Matt.4:19.) During this phase of the movement Jesus challenges them to join Him as disciples, leaving everything to follow Him. He then begins to share in ministry with them \u2014 teaching them how to fish for men. He does this with on-the-job training through a series of fishing expeditions in various places and with a variety of people groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of years of investing in them, not just the Good News \u2014 that He was the Messiah \u2014 but sharing with them His very life, He was ready for the next step. In this next phase of leadership development, Jesus\u2019 style is radical and it flies in the face of many of the popular beliefs of leadership at the time. Get ready to see leadership Jesus-style. During this phase Jesus reveals to His committed core of disciples the Father\u2019s master plan for reaching the world. Remember, it is the Father\u2019s plan. It is God who is the Architect and Master Builder (Heb. 11:10). The plan is simple to understand, revolutionary and humanly impossible. But what is impossible with man is possible with God; but when God is the one training us, we can accomplish anything (Phil. 4:13). Come explore leadership Jesus-style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jesus moves into this new phase, He knows it is crucial that He listen carefully to His Father in order for the movement to expand according to the Father\u2019s master plan. Jesus called an isolated (perhaps secretive) meeting with His disciples from every area He has been in over the past two years. Probably some 120 disciples move quietly to the mountains of Naphtali just northwest of Capernaum. As they are arriving from all over, Jesus climbs to a high spot. What will He do? What will He say? What will be the next step His Father will ask Him to take? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading<\/strong> [You can read as much as you can, depending on your availability]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 6:12-19
(or)
Mark 3:13-19<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meditating<\/strong> [Use these questions to start your thinking]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Luke 6:12 says that Jesus spent the night in prayer before choosing His leaders. What is this telling us? What do you imagine He prayed about?<\/li>
  2. What do you know about these twelve apostles?<\/li>
  3. What does the text tell us about why and how Jesus chose leaders (Mark 3:14-15)?<\/li>
  4. What do you imagine Jesus is feeling during this time?<\/li>
  5. What other questions do you still have?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
