No lesson
in leadership is more insightful than to rule by example, in every single
detail, such as traveling light and not greeting anyone along the way for any
lengthy exchange of pleasantries, in view of the urgency of the
undertaking. The Lord Jesus would not

was willing to do, even to suffer on the cross.
