True influence should increase through the lives of those you have poured into, even after you pass away. Our greatest example of this is Jesus. He never wrote a book or traveled outside of Israel, but He was able to use a band of eleven followers to create the largest, most influential movement the world has ever seen.
- Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master
- He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer
- He had no army, yet kings feared Him
- He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world
- He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him
- He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today
Furthermore, Jesus’ followers did greater works after He left them. The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are not only compilations of sacred narrative regarding Jesus’ life, but they also contain principles that enable us to move from potential to fulfillment of purpose.
Leave a legacy of helping others fulfill their own potential so that after you have passed, you are still speaking. Become part of a great cloud of witnesses who help to unleash the divine calling in others.
