Essay / Analysis of Victor Rhee's Hebrews as a Leader of the Faith Community body of Christ. . The title alone brings a certain kind of curiosity about what makes a leader according to the book of Hebrews. If leadership training could have a manual, it would have to parallel Hebrews. Today's leaders do not have the courage to stand up for something that is right according to God's word. It doesn't matter what happens in our society, beliefs and value system. Leadership has suffered greatly both inside and outside the Church, especially among Christian leaders. One of the main points made by the author of this article is that society's woes are the same as ours today. Is this entirely appropriate when we need direction for Christian ministry. There is a soul-searching event that takes place for leaders to rise up and be all that God intended for them in caring for the gospel of Christ for the world. Rhee, who wrote the journal, highlights the author's characteristics of Hebrews as a leader who will stand up for the cause of Christ by shedding light on the importance of courage, faith, love, hope, to fight against apostates and believe in the unity of leadership when leading as a leader of the Christian faith. From the journal's introduction, there is an urgent need for anyone reading it to take a courageous look at how to be a leader on fire for God in difficult times. What Rhee wants us to know about the author of Hebrews is how he points out all the evils of being a Christian at a time when it was not popular to be a Christian. This is proven in the times of two Roman empires, Claudius and Nero. You can see how the followers were ordinary people living everyday ... middle of paper ... as they carry a great responsibility to care for others. As the author states, they are the ones who watch over the souls of the believers in the community of faith, exercise leadership in the light of the Last Day, and will give account to the Lord as their shepherd. Furthermore, they will not be profitable if they do not do it with the joy of the Lord. Rhee and the author of this article want us to see the full responsibility of a leader to a community of faith and the qualities he or she must possess in order to lead others to Christ and to last day of the return of our Lord.BIBLIOGRAPHYhee, Victor. “The Author of Hebrews as Leader of the Faith Community.” Evangelical Theological Society 55, no. 2 (June 2012): 1-18.
