ephesians 4:25

"therefore, putting away lying, letting each one of you speak truth with his nabor, for we are members of one another."

jesus has never lyed to me me, led mea stray, or guided me to evil but in fact done the complete oposite. god has guided me to only good things and brought me closer to his word to teach me more about him and his love. in john 13:14-15 jesus says "if i then, your lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet, for i have given you an example that you should do as i have done." this verse is simply showing me that learning and marinating in gods word and taking the examples he has shown me i should then turn it into an action giving to people what jesus has given to me. it would be a lie if i sat marinating in his word and never did something with it, for a teacher doesnt go to college to learn from other teachers to go home and read more about teaching and then call themself a teacher. nor will i learn gods word and do nothing with what he has tought me. for example in james 3:18 it states "now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." if this is true witch it is because the bible teaches truth and if god created all that is good then he created the unity of peace among his people and lies would be a glitch in his progaming to make the body of people work correctly. so my application would have to be that to truly be a leader i must continue to follow learning from the truth that gods word tells me and hope to one day be able to give that gift to someone els leading them to christ.
