Have you ever considered how much of Jesus Christ's message revolves around leadership?
His gospel, the good news of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15), centers around two major aspects of leadership. One is how this world will be transformed by right leadership-the leadership He will exercise as King of Kings at His return.
You've probably read the famous prophecy of His coming in Isaiah 9:6: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
But have you focused on the next verse? "Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever" (New International Version, emphasis added throughout).
At the heart of Christ's gospel is the message that He will return to to earth establish the Kingdom of God as a literal world-ruling empire, saving the human race from the cumulative effects of several thousand years of bad leadership.
The prophet Daniel saw, in vision, God the Father giving this Kingdom to Jesus Christ: "Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed" (Daniel 7:14).
