Jesus' earthly leadership was characterized by humility. He led by word and action. He demonstrated the pitfalls of leaders and taught respect for leadership. He taught His disciples as potential leaders that the authoritarian attitudes we learned in the world have no place in the Kingdom. Jesus exemplified and left instructions on stewardship for us as leaders in charge of the Father’s business. He was above reproach, and showed Himself as the light of the world (John 12:46, 8:12) and so should we be (Matthew 5:14,16). Let us search the scriptures together so that we too may understand how we must lead as ministers of the Kingdom.
