Matthew 20:20-28
In this passage, two of his disciples (along with their mother) approach Jesus with a request that basically could be seen as a power play. The other disciples were furious that they had done this, but many of them had similar motives in their competition with one another to be the ‘greatest among them’. Jesus responded by reminding them that following him was different than the Roman way of doing things. He wanted them to stand as a sharp contrast to the world.
If Christian leadership involves serving others with great humility, how might that be different than leadership in our world today?
If you are a leader in the church, or are considering taking on a leadership role in the church, does this passage change your view of what it means to be a Christian leader? If so, how? If not, how does your view line up with what Jesus says in this passage?
