Leading Like Jesus- Part 2 Servant Leadership

in #life8 years ago

Am I Willing to Follow Jesus As My Leadership Role Model?


" Before I look to Jesus as my leadership role model, I need to understand what leading like Jesus means." The essence , the core concept of leading like Jesus is encapsulated in the " not so  with you" mandate that Jesus gave to his disciples regarding how they were to attain and carry out roles of leadership. In Matthew 20, we read,

Jesus  called them together and said, " You know the rulers of the Gentiles lord over them and their high officials exercise  authority over them. Not so with you. Instead , whoever wants to be great, among you must be your own servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served , but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

                                                                                                                                                                          (Verse 25-28)


This call  by Jesus to servant leadership is clear and unequivocal; his words leave no room for plan B. He placed no restrictions or limitations of time, space or situation that would allow us to exempt ourselves from his command. For followers of Jesus, servant leadership isnt an option; its a mandate. Servant leadership is to be a living statement of who we are in Christ, how we treat one another , and how we demonstrate the love of Christ to the whole world. If this sounds like serious business with profound implications- It is.
