Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” MATTHEW 25:14-30. The Parable of the Talents.

[…]structures. Let’s apply this spiritually by looking at the Trinity and the Body of Christ. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus stated that all authority was given to Him. He also said in the Gospels that He always obeyed the Father–doing nothing on His own account. In the next step down the chain of command, Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit, who would guide His followers in all truth.
