It never ceases to amaze me how some
business managers just don't get the fact that in order to secure
your business they do need to deliver service. When you try to get
them to accommodate you with a special request it is just too much
work for them. Unfortunately for people like that, they just won't
get my business.
That begs the question, is the Church a
service organization? I absolutely believe we are. We need to serve
people that are hurt and broken in order to lead them to a place
where they can accept Christ as Saviour.
Jesus demonstrated this principle and
taught us that in order to be a leader we must be willing to serve
the people we wish to lead. He washed His disciples feet and
ministered to them time and time again.
Above all else, Christ demonstrated
service to the body of Christ when He gave up His life as a sacrifice
for our sin. From this example we need to learn that in order to
grow in our leadership skills we need to first serve the body of
Christ and minister to those whom God places in our path.
