Great Leadership

Greetings to all; I pray that those who are leaders or inspired to become leaders are servants at heart.

While we are called to be great, we are not called to lord over others as we seek to lead. Jesus set the example of being great when He came as the Son of man not to be served but to serve by giving His life as a ransom for humanity.

Matthew 20:25–27 (MSG)

25 So Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, “You have observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads.

26 It is not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.

27 Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.

Lesson: Humility and servanthood is the gateway to greatness. Jesus does not expect us to lay down our lives, but He expects us to be people who are servants at heart.
