Word In Life Study Bible
A MODEL OF SERVANT-LEADERSHIP
John13:2-17
When Jesus washed
His disciples’ feet (John 13:3–5), He demonstrated a fundamental principle
that He regularly stressed to His followers: To lead others, one must serve others.
This is as true in public life and the business world as it is in the church.
No number of corporate memos or rah-rah speeches exhorting workers to commit themselves
to an organization or its clients will have as powerful an impact as a person
of authority modeling consistently and clearly the attitude of a servant: placing
others’ needs before one’s own, committing oneself to doing concrete
things to meet those needs, and looking for neither favors nor reciprocity from
the people one serves.
