Work, money and leadership
Leadership
Loading Mark 10:43-45…
The disciples were arguing about rank, and Jesus did not tell them ambition was wrong. He redefined greatness. Christian leadership is measured by whom it serves and what it costs the leader, and the pattern is a ransom rather than a throne.
A prayer from this passage
Lord Jesus, You led by serving and gave Your life for many. Strip out of me the desire to be important, and give me the courage to lead by serving the people entrusted to me.
Key truth
Christian leadership is greatness measured by service and self-giving, following the pattern of Christ.
