Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. [kjv]

It is hard to find a place in the Bible where the leadership definitions and techniques of humanity match what Jesus says and does.

Jesus never appears to say that we should be a leader. Instead, we are to "follow" Him or "get behind" Him and do the things that we should be doing.

Let us investigate.
