John 10:11
What does it cost to be a good coach or a teammate? How much more does it cost to be a head coach or a team captain? You may not be aware of it, but those positions cost a good deal more. Jesus clues us in on the cost in today’s letter.
Jesus says at John 10 and verse 11, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”
He who would be a team leader or a coach should count the costs associated with such responsibilities. It’s just like flying on airplanes, the best seats cost the most. The cost of such leadership is sacrifice. It requires laying down one’s life for the people he’s leading. That comes in terms of time, convenience, preferences, and personal desires, all set aside in order to serve the team.

Jesus knows that love and leadership lead to sacrifice. His love led Him to die in our place. That’s real sacrifice! That is what a good shepherd does.
Will you be a good shepherd for your team? What will it cost you? How will you lay down your life for your team today? How many times will you prefer your team’s best over your own? This is the price tag for leadership. Pay it in full in today’s competition and you’ll be like Jesus. Play like champions today.
