CHAPTER 5:
LEADING LIKE A SERVANT;
Leadership in the world is often measured by power, money, education, and abilities. There are
many styles of leadership in the world. By “style” we mean the way in which a person leads.
For example, there are dictators who control people. There are also democratic leaders who are
controlled by the vote of the people.
When Jesus came into the world, He reversed the world’s concept of successful leadership when
He became a servant. This chapter concerns the New Testament principle of leading like a servant.
Jesus contrasted spiritual leadership with worldly leadership. He said:
Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you,
shall be your minister:
And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
(Mark 10:42-44)
Leading like a servant is what sets Christian leadership apart from worldly leadership. It is the
one leadership style that is uniquely Christian.
