Amen, I agree that we are called to be leaders, called to be examples, and called to influence others in the world with the all-satisfying love that Jesus gives us through his teachings, and through his death and resurrection. Jesus was definitely strong in terms of his opposition against hypocritical leaders. I feel that in this way, especially when interacting with Jewish brothers and sisters, we are called to treat them with an utmost love that the Father would want us to show them with a respect to the historic background that comes with the Near East. God bless you brother!
