“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
- Matthew 25:21
A leader is one who serves. You are never more like Jesus than when you are serving. A true leader will always display the attitudes, motivations and service of a servant. The Hebrew Meanings
'Ebed' means slave or a servant. This word applies to a person who is at the
complete disposal of another person (Gn. 24:1-67). As leaders we must be
at the complete disposal of Jesus.
However saying I’m serving Jesus can be too general, you have to narrow it down.
• Serve Jesus (Jn. 12:26). Where he is we should also be.
• Serve your family (1 Timothy 5:8).
• Serve your family (1 Timothy 5:8).
• Serve your pastor (Mt. 10:41-42). Become bigger person by serving and more intimate with your leader. You become bigger by serving your leader.
• Serve your church (Eph. 1:23). The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
• Serve your world (Colossians 3:23-24, Mark 10:45).
There's no "I" or "me" when dealing with a great leader. He/she will always put others first and the big picture on the table.
