Extracted from The Maxwell Leadership Bible
Would any of us have picked Simon the fisherman or Matthew the tax collector to be on our team? The former spoke more than he thought; the latter took more than he gave. But Jesus saw them both as diamonds in the rough.
Jesus could see beyond the imperfections, and He put a "ten" on their foreheads instead of the "three" or "four" they deserved. Unstable Peter became a solid leader of the church at Jerusalem, while Matthew became one of the most generous people in the Gospels.
The Law of Intuition enables leaders to spot potential. Consider the biblical record ......
1. Who would have chosen a stammering Moses to be a spokesman for God?
2. Who would have chosen a shepherd boy like David to be King of Israel?
3. Who would have chosen an uncouth John the Baptizer to prepare the way for Jesus?
4. Who would have chosen a converted prostitute, Mary, to herald the resurrection?
