Observation: Wow, I dont know about you, but the judgement is imposing enough already without becoming stricter. Who am I in the sight of an almightly, perfect, all-powerful God who created everything with a word? And now, to make that judgement stricter by moving into a position of leadership is daunting.
Application: Thank God for the blood of Jesus Christ that makes our sins go away. Without it, none of us could step up to lead others. Thank God that we have an advocate, who on judgement day will say "this one is with me" to his father the Judge. It is only with that knoledge, and the humility that we so desprately need, that we can assume the calling that God has placed on our lives.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for new Christian leaders to step into their calling with all humility and full dependence on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of calvary.
