When I was young and climbing the corporate ladder, my mindset was focused on moving higher and higher so that more people served me. Then one day I had an experience that rocked my worldview!

The bank president I was working for asked all of the employees to pull their cars around back because he was going to wash their cars as an act of service to the staff. When I challenged his unconventional approach my boss smiled knowingly as he reminded me that Jesus served His disciples when He humbly washed their feet.

Jesus said in Luke 22:26, “The one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.”

The world says the leader should be served, God says a great leader serves others.
