John 13:5
5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Jesus’ style of leadership is just different. Everybody works hard at college in order to be the boss. Why get ordered around when you can do the ordering? Our culture likes to think “Unless you’re the lead dog, the view never changes.” But Jesus went in a totally different direction.
Jesus is the Lord over all by right, by competency, by goodness. By every conceivable metric Jesus should be the leader over everyone and everything. And being the highest, He went the lowest. The God who dwells in unapproachable light stooped to a servant’s role when He knelt to clean the feet of the disciples, even Judas. Look up and see not just your example for leadership, but the kind eyes of your Servant King.
Prayer prompt: Lord, teach me to lead by Your example of service.
