Introduction:
In this paper I will look at the similarities between Julius Caesar and Jesus. When the word leader us said, one usually thinks of a strong, loud and smart person, like Julius Caesar. However, there is another type of leader. This person is one who may weak but can still be very intelligent, may not speak a lot, but whenever they talk, everyone goes silent and listens but the one of the vital attributes that the leader must have is being able to take responsibility when the time comes.
Julius Caesar:
Julius Caesar began as a man in the military force of Roman Empire, starting a political career as a prosecuting advocate. By the age of 31, Julius Caesar had fought many wars and was part of Roman politics. He created several alliances,

Instead of waiting for someone to rescue him, in an audacious act reflecting his intelligence, negotiation skills and counter-insurgency strategies, he convinced his detainers to raise the ransom for his return, then arranged for a naval force to retrieve Julius Caesar while capturing the pirates and executing them.
-Sharing information

Jesus’ Leadership Style:
The style of leadership that Jesus used was very special, as though the results of his teachings are spectacular, the way that Jesus lead was simple, involving 4 phases. These 4 are:

4. “Remain with Me”
Though the people that Jesus picked were impulsive and judgemental, the reason Jesus chose them was that they represented the average person in society, instead of already being a leader.
In addition to these methods, Jesus also had unique leadership characteristics.
He taught his disciples that being a servant doesn’t mean being weak. He represented this by being a servant to his disciples.
He was a team builder and also a relationship builder. For example, Jesus managed to get Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot who was a Jewish nationalist to work together, even though Simon strongly believed that paying taxes was against his views.
Jesus is able to step up when the time calls for it. When Peter’s mother had “a great fever” (Luke 4:38), Jesus goes directly to her and heals her.. As it was a bad illness at the time, Jesus risked catching getting infected himself but decides to do the job himself instead of sending others to do the job or trying to not do it at all
Julius Caesar was born on July 12 , 100 BC and died on March 15, 44 BC. Caesar was born into a patrician family. This meant that they were noble and were wealthier than the plebeians, who were the common people. (Julius Caesar -- Britannica School) “H is family traced their lineage back to the goddess Venus.” (Julius Caesar -- Britannica School) His uncles and cousins were all consuls and this put Caesar in a place of more power, but higher expectations. His parents were Gaius Caesar, his father, who died when Caesar was 16, and Aurelia, his mother, who greatly influenced his life. (Julius Caesar -- Britannica School ) “Caesar’s political ambitions developed under these circumstances. From the start he probably aimed at winning office, not just for personal glory but also to achieve the power to save Rome from decay.” (Julius Caesar -- Britannica School) On ce he was travelling to Rhodes and was captured by pirates. His ransom was paid, and then Caesar hunted his captors down and had them crucified. (Julius Caesar -- Britannica School) Then he began to climb the ladder of power in the Roman government and eventually was elected as a consul. While consul, he was sent to govern the province of Gaul and set out to conquer the entirety of Gaul. As this was going on, the senate decided that Caesar had to be put out of power, because there was too much risk of an uprising led by Caesar. ...

His birth of around July 12, 100 B.C., marked a new beginning for Rome (Julius Caesar). Caesar was a talented negotiator, and that fact helped him on his rise to power. Julius Caesar began his career in politics by becoming a prosecuting advocate. In roughly 68 B.C., he was elected quaestor, which was a Roman official that was elected annually. Becoming a quaestor was needed before becoming a senator. In around 60 B.C., Caesar became a governor of the province of Spain (Gill, N.S.). His rise to power was extremely fast. In 59 B.C., an alliance with his rival Pompey allowed him to be elected a consul, which in the Roman Republic was the highest elected office. Julius Caesar’s political power was quickly rising.

Gaius Julius Caesar, born 100 B.C.E. in Rome to the impoverished patrician Julian Clan, knew controversy at an early age. Nephew to Populare Gaius Marius, he was earmarked by the Optimate dictator Sulla for prosciption after his refusal to divorce his Populare wife, Cinna. Fleeing Rome, and not returning until after Sulla’s resignation in 78 B.C.E, upon his return he gained a position as a pontificate, an important Roman priesthood. Slowly but surely throughout his lifetime he worked his way up the political ladder, eventually becoming Consul, and finally Dictator Perpeteus – Dictator for life. One of the most influential political and military leaders of all time, Caesar was also a highly intelligent man and an exceptional orator. However, acquiring this absolute power was no mean feat, and Caesar had well equipped himself through previous expeditions with all the resources necessary to gain power in Ancient Rome.
Gaius Julius caesar is one of the best known Roman figures as a politician, general and leader. He played a crucial role in the Great Roman civil war (Caesar's civil war) occurred from 49-45 BC. It was one of the last large scale political wars before the transition. This was the second official political accord between three powerful political Roman figures, Caesar Augustus, Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus. This is because although after the assassination As a consequence of this war and the subsequent assassination of Caesar on 15 March 44 BC, the door was left open for an empire structure to be formed as a break from war and economic issues.
Julius Caesar was a strong leader of the Romans who changed the course of the history for the Roman world decisively and irreversibly. With his courage and strength, he created a strong empire and guided the empire for almost 20 years. His life was short, but had many adventures. I will tell of some of this man’s remarkable life.

...lled me to submit to that supervisor. Jesus empowered his disciples to perform tasks and go out and fulfill their calling.
Loving people unconditionally was another aspect of Jesus’ worship lifestyle. The Gospels depict countless examples of Jesus interacting with people. Every interaction was filled with love. He met people’s needs when he healed the sick and the blind and the dumb. He met the needs of the hungry thousands. The marginalized of society were always on His mind. From the women to the children, the aliens and the outcasts, He was a...
When Jesus called His disciples, His invitation was simple. He invited them to follow Him. The same is true today. In Matthew 28, Jesus gave His last charge to His disciples, and the charge was simple. He called his followers to go and make disciples. Much effort has been placed by Christians to fulfill this charge, commonly referred to as the Great Commission. Jesus chose to fulfill the implementation of the New Covenant through 12 men who He called, appointed, and commissioned, and he only had a few short years to prepare them for the task (Willson, 1990). His methods were unconventional and were revolutionary for that time. His disciples were to be trained extensively by Jesus, living with Him for three years prior to His ascension. He taught about servant leadership and its meaning for both the leader and follower Matt. 20:25-28). From the beginning, Jesus put in place a careful plan, and an examination of His actions in the Gospels showed that Jesus left behind the pattern to be replicated. His methods, which included the incorporation of three different levels of discipleship, included His interaction with Peter, His closest three (Peter, James, and John), and finally the group of 12. This paper identified and analyzed the three levels of discipleship Jesus modeled, these discipleship methods were then measured against modern leadership theories, and Jesus’s level of involvement and interaction with his disciples were critiqued in light of these modern theories in an effort to determine the effectiveness of this approach.
