For Sunday, June 25, 2023:
Matthew 20:28 NLT, Jesus speaking: “Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Jesus is explaining to the 12: “Among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant.” This same principle applies to all Christians and is still valid nowadays.
It’s called Servant Leadership, leaders who genuinely care for their constituents. Benevolent leadership is rare; we hear about it mostly around churches, Bible studies and the name of Jesus. I pray we could hear it more in politics and in our government. I pray for other countries who don’t enjoy freedom.
Jesus put servant leadership into action as he gave his life to redeem mankind, paying the price for the sins of the world, the ultimate sacrifice.
The best reason to practice servant leadership is because that’s what Jesus did!
