Followership as a Role
Wk. 4 Devotional
Getting Started
We see evidence of Jesus' miraculous works in the Bible, but does Jesus still heal today? Jesus is our Healer, and He is healing people today. Healing is made available to us because of Jesus' death on the cross. Sickness came with sin, so healing comes in the atonement. This means that the work of Jesus on the cross to make us at one with God, not only addressed our spiritual brokenness but our physical brokenness as well. Sometimes He chooses to physically heal by simply taking His children home to be with Him. While that may not seem like the kind of healing that we expect, God always knows what is best for us, even though we may not always understand.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Integrate biblical perspectives of followership as an essential aspect of leadership perspectives and practices.
