Jesus is not only a Savior, Master & King, He is also a Shepherd. And Shepherds take their sheep where those sheep need to go. Sometimes the leadership of Jesus results in us being taken to places we never would have volunteered to go. He stretches us. He challenges us. He intentionally brings us to places where it is difficult to continue following Him. Jesus isn’t interested in leaving us where our natural gifting, education, strengths and experiences can sustain us. He wants to build deep friendship and trust with His own people. This is why He regularly stretches us beyond ourselves.
