We are called to follow Jesus’ dream, to seek to fulfill the ministry Jesus yearned to and to represent those Jesus sought to represent. It was not about authority but responsibility. Sometimes leaders see people’s trust as a sign of their brilliance, instead of an honour. We are invited to follow Jesus, not to replace Jesus. No religious office should worry about replacing Jesus, not to mention human mind sets. Not even the church as an entity, not to mention a denomination. No tradition should replace Jesus, but to serve the people that Jesus served dearly. We are not here to fill Jesus’ position, but the duties Jesus left undone.
