The Way of Jesus



What would our families look like if we took Jesus words seriously about living as a servant? How would our places of work, our church and our community be different if we lived like Jesus?

I came across an awesome article titled, Lead Like Jesus: Becoming a Servant Manager. John Pearson shares what life would look like if we served like Jesus:
  • Public restrooms would be cleaner
  • Parking spaces closest to building entrances would be available for visitors and guests
  • Servant leaders and managers would arrive early for meetings, make coffee, tidy up the room, and offer warm, welcoming greetings
  • Frequent fliers would donate some of their miles to single parent employees who need a break

So, how are you doing living as a servant? How has the example of Christ impacted your life and leadership? Are you following in the way of Jesus? I am intersted in hearing your thoughts and ideas.

Now that I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. John 13:14-17
