Abstract

The chapter begins with Jesus troubled in heart and spirit (12:27; 13:21) and the disciples pregnant with anxiety, largely due to one of the last statements Jesus made to his disciples in the former chapter (13:33). Jesus’ prediction birthed the abandonment, isolation, despondency, and perhaps depression for the entire group (13:38; Matt. 26:3). The authentic leader provides optimism, confidence, hope, and decision making, which helps encourage trusting relationships with followers. With this context, this chapter includes a pioneer, or Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) or perhaps a God Positioned Spirituality involving one principle and five sub-principles.
