JUDGMENT, LEADERSHIP AND

Two men once robbed a jewelry store. One was a lawyer and the other was a high-school dropout. After being arrested, convicted, and sentenced, the lawyer received a ten-year imprisonment. The dropout received three years. The counselors for the lawyer protested the harsh judgment but the judge insisted that the lawyer was under greater responsibility to be an example of the law.

In like manner are church leaders under a greater responsibility to be living examples of the Lord Jesus Christ.729
