Mark 10:41-45
41 When the ten other disciples discovered what James and John had asked, they were indignant. 42 So Jesus called them together and said, "You know that in this world kings are tyrants, and officials lord it over the people beneath them.  43 But among you it should be quite different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.  45 For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many." (NLT)

Jesus did not come to be served but to serve. If you are to lead you must become a servant or slave to all. Have you ever heard the term “Servant Leader”? That is what we are to be. We are to lead like Jesus. Jesus led by example. Jesus had all the authority to tell others what to do but that is not what He did. He looked for ways to serve others, not Himself. A servant leader is not someone who does what everyone wants but wants to meets the needs of others through faith with grace. The world wants to control you but Jesus wants to lead you into the abundant life. The servant leader’s life is a life of uplifting others, encouraging others and leading others to Jesus by your servant heart.
