“But I am among you as the one who serves.”
Luke 22:27
In preparing his disciples for leadership, Jesus taught them a new set of principles for evaluating leadership, relationships, greatness, and life together in the believing community. This new teaching is what we call today “servant leadership.” The Jesus leadership style means leading others, not lording it over them (2 Cor. 1:24). It is an others–oriented style of leadership, where the leader humbly serves the people—even the most insignificant ones—expecting nothing in return. It is marked by a willingness to suffer for the good of others, even to the point of being willing to die for others. It is denying self and sacrificing self for others; it is leading by example; it is washing the feet of others; it is loving as Christ loved; it is promoting and advancing the gifting of others. It is treating one another equally as brothers and sisters, not as lords with servants. Servant leadership ultimately means imitating Jesus and directing people to him and not to oneself.
