 | Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your 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." |
In a stunning reversal of the concept of leadership, Jesus challenges His followers with servanthood over dominance.
Is it any wonder that we study the military genius of Napoleon or Alexander but we follow the life of Jesus?
At the end of this age it will not be displays of power that are valued, but displays of sacrifice for others.
