Matthew 20: 26-28

Matthew 20: 26-28

But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant. 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. 28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and give his life ransom for many.

Leadership is want everyone drives to be in someway. People like to do what they want and not be told by others what to do. But Jesus says right here that if you want to be a leader and have people serve you. You must serve others first. You don't just wake up a leader and go lead a business or country. You have to first serve people and build relationship with one another. No one will follow someone who doesn't treat others well or someone who has never submitted to authority. But with that said we can never actually be are own true leaders for we have the ultimate leader God! God gives us the ultimate authority we must always be listening to him and what he wants us to do and Jesus is the perfect example of being a leader because he came down to serve. God in human form came down to serve us that is just insane! And not only did he serve us he did the ultimate sacrifice by dying on the cross and he already knew it would happen and knew that there was no other way. Think about the Son of Man came down to serve us and even in serving us wasn't enough so he went a gave up his life for us that just blows my mind away. We can never serve Jesus like he has served us but what we can do is just grow in Him and go spread his word and love your neighbor for if you want to be a leader you must be willing to go to the lowest of low and serve.
