BIBLICAL LEADERSHIP
"Jesus called them [the disciples] together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:25-28

Jesus turned the world's understanding of leadership upside down. His teaching about leadership goes against everything we naturally assume about leading. Biblical leadership isn't about power or positions. It's not about control and glory.

Jesus calls his leaders to be servants and slaves of others. This kind of leadership isn't popular or praised. Servant leadership is not attractive to most people. It goes in direct opposition to the attitude that is assumed every day at school and in the world. It may not be popular, but we are looking for servant leaders.
