The meaning of the word "delegator" has a few variations. It can be used as a noun and as a verb. As a noun it can means one who acts on behalf of another (like a representative). As a verb, it can means one who extends powers, functions, responsibilities, etc. out to others (so that these others may serve as agents of the one extending the power).
So here we have Jesus, the Son of God, Creator, choosing men (and not even those most of us would put on our "A"-list) to walk alongside Him, to follow Him, to do as He does, to share with the world the Good News, to change the world. Jesus didn't need to do this. He has all of the power at His finger tips to changes peoples lives on His own.
Regardless, and it is a complete mystery, He chose us to help Him with His mission. It is still Jesus ultimately changing people's lives through the power of the Word and the Holy Spirit, but He uses us to share the Good News of Him to others.
What thoughts run through your mind of Jesus: Delegator? As agents, how do we represent Him--in effect, introducing who He is and what He is about--to others?
