2. JESUS’ VISION FOR SHARED LEADERSHIP His time of ministry was short – 3 years – so he needed a group of people who he trusted who would carry on His message Jesus chose ‘random’ people as his special followers He was not so concerned about what their job was, rather what qualities they possessed in their heart The apostles trying to understand sometimes what was required of them and Jesus understandably, would get frustrated with them After Pentecost, they did a great job of preaching his word
