How Did Jesus Demonstrate Leadership Through Services

Text- John 13: 13-15, Mark 10: 35-45

Throughout the scripture, Jesus demonstrated his Leadership styles for all to see. He was not just teaching the disciples/Apostles but was showing them the how.

 

Briefly let see some of Jesus Leadership Styles

• He led with Grace and Accountability, he never condemned any, rather he tells them to go and sin no more. The woman caught in Adultery John 8
• He served other rather than expecting to be served. Washing the feet of the disciples.
• He was always looking for potential not perfection. Everyone of his disciples were work in progress. He called fishermen, Tax collector, he is a leader looking at the heart and not the outward appearance.

 

Life Lessons

1. To be a leader, you must be willing to serve others first. Our greatness is hidden in service. (Phil 2: 3-5, John 13: 12-17)
2. Leadership requires a lot of sacrifices; it will take more from you than add to you (Mk 10: 38-39)
3. Leadership is influence (Mk 10: 42-43) Naomi was a great influence on Ruth (Ruth 1: 16-17)

 

Life Application

1. It is better to be a person of influence, willing to serve others.

           Are you always willing to show the why and not the how?
