Day 95 Serving Like Jesus | Mark 10:41-45

What does true leadership look like through the eyes of Jesus? The answer might surprise you.

Our weekend reflection explores Jesus's revolutionary teaching on leadership from Mark 10:42-45, where He challenges the conventional power dynamics we often witness in the world. When leaders around us flaunt their authority and control others, Jesus boldly declares, "But among you it will be different."

The radical concept Jesus presents turns leadership on its head – the greatest leaders must become servants, and those who want to be first must become "the slave of everyone else." This isn't merely a nice suggestion; it's a fundamental reorientation of how we should view influence and authority in every relationship.

I explore how this principle applies to our everyday relationships as friends, family members, colleagues, and community participants. The tendency to control situations or push for our own way runs counter to Jesus's example, who "came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." His ultimate sacrifice represents the purest form of the servant leadership He calls us to embody.

This weekend, consider how you might practically serve someone in your life. Whether through attentive listening, offering practical help, or simply being present for someone in need, each small act of service reflects the heart of Christ and builds the kind of community Jesus envisions. Join me as we learn together how to put love into action through service to others.
