Servant Leadership

Jesus demonstrated two very significant attributes of servant leadership in His interaction with John. He validated and affirmed John in his ministry and submitted Himself to the same acts of surrender to doing the right thing that He would require of others. A servant leader never asks anyone to do something they wouldn't be willing to do themselves.

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. But John tried to stop Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and yet You come to me?" Jesus answered him, "Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him to be baptized; Matthew 3:13-15

Prayer: Perfect Example, lead me to demonstrate for others the love and service You so perfectly demonstrated for me. In Jesus' name, Amen!
