Gospel of Matthew Part 5.
Beatitude.
Between the seed of leadership planted in the early stages and the fruit of leadership that comes with maturity, every leader goes through two major phases: the call and the preparation.
During the preparation season, all leaders get tested to live at a higher level than others.
No one responded better than Jesus.
Jesus calls His people we to live at a higher level than the rest of the world.
His call brings many others tests along the way, for tests always follow the call in order to prepare leaders for the role they are to play.
