Friday is for Quotes: J. Oswald Sanders

One book I try to read once every two years is J. Oswald Sanders' book Spiritual Leadership, which includes this quote:

"True Greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one’s service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them. And that is never done without cost."

I say this while preparing my sermon series on "Shepherding under God" which features three sermons on Ezekiel 34, John 10.1-21, and 1 Peter 5.1-5.
