How to be a good follower
...This week Joseph is once more our protagonist, and again the righteous man shows us that following divine guidance is the wisest course - not to mention the route to survival. Joseph’s actions are never the obvious choice: Many would not have married the girl, fled to Egypt, or returned to the danger zone afterwards. Joseph doesn’t reason things out: He trusts in God. He’s a grand follower. And as we learn in Luke’s version of the story, Mary’s not so bad herself when it comes to knowing how to balance self-determination with resting in God’s counsel. She does one at Cana and the other at the Annunciation. She’ll have to do both, grimly, at the cross.
Though it may be strange to think of Jesus as a follower, his moral compass pointed to the true north of God’s will and not his own - right up to that final hour in the garden of Gethsemane. We come to appreciate that there is no genuine leadership without dedicated followership first. Even a leader needs to know where he or she is going. That requires a map, a star, a compass - or a Higher Power the leader must consult and to whom he or she must finally consent to bow. The leader who refuses to follow any authority higher than himself or herself has a fool for a guide.
