Christ taught about righteous leadership. How do leaders in the Church differ from leaders of the world?
John 13:1-17 In this scripture, Christ taught that leaders should be righteous examples. They should emulate exactly how the people should act. They can’t be hypocrites or else they aren’t being righteous examples. He also taught that leaders need to serve those whom they preside.
Luke 22:24-30 In this one, Christ teaches that those who are the greatest should be like those who are younger. They should serve. So leaders who serve are great leaders.
Mark 10:43-45 This basically repeats the others.
The leaders of the world don’t take into account the teachings of Christ before they make decisions. Some of them are good, but some of them aren’t. I think for the most part, Church leaders try to emulate Christ’s teachings as much as possible.
I have had many leaders at Church in my time, and most of them have been really great. I believe they followed Christ’s example. I am so grateful for them and hopefully if I ever get called as a leader, I can be like them.
