Jesus the High Road Leader: Follow the Path He Wants Us to Travel

The most important words Jesus ever spoke were, “Follow me.” But how are we to follow him in a divided world with so much bitterness, anger, and hate? How can we love God and love our neighbor as ourselves? We can do it the same way Jesus did: by taking the high road! 

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told people to love their enemies, turn the other cheek, and go the extra mile. What he said can be summed up this way: “Take the high road.” That’s the road Jesus took. He was a high-road leader. His words and his actions made it clear he wants us to: 

• Value All People 
• Give More Than We Take 
• Embrace Authenticity 
• Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons 
• Place People Above Our Agenda 
• Bring People Together in a World that Divides 

Best-selling authors John C. Maxwell and Chris Hodges show how every step of Jesus’ walk on earth was on the high road, and they explain how you can take that same path. Immerse yourself in the life of Jesus, and you will be equipped and inspired to take the high road in every situation, just like he did. When you do, you will be most like him. You will be salt and light in a world that desperately needs it.
