Servant as Leader – part 3

Today, as we remember the death of the greatest servant leader who ever lived, C. Gene Wilkes’ comment is poignantly relevant.

The greatest test of your leading with the heart of Jesus is not whether or not you overcome the challenges of others. It is whether or not you serve those who have the power to take you out. We honor Jesus because he washed his betrayer’s feet . . . that was nothing. Honor goes to Jesus because the next day he died in the place of his betrayer. If you are willing to climb on a cross for someone because you love him, washing his dirty feet is a ‘walk in the park.’
