“正如人子来,不是要受人的服侍,乃是要服侍人,并且要舍命,作多人的赎价。” – 太 20:28
在这看重权力和权威的世上,仆人式领导对于那些寻求产生持久影响的人来说是一个强有力的典范。耶稣是仆人式领袖的终极榜样,祂向我们显明:谦卑的服侍和无私的牺牲才是伟大的。
仆人式领袖把他人的需求放在自己的需求之前。他们在领导过程中富有怜悯心和同理心,真正希望提升和增强他们所服侍之人的能力。他们不是寻求被服侍,而是心甘乐意地服侍他人,为团队或社区的福祉倾注自己的时间、才智和资源。
仆人式领导不是为了获得头衔或积累荣誉,而是为了给他人的生命带来积极的改变。它包括积极倾听、营造包容的环境、承认每个人的价值和贡献。
作为基督的跟随者,我们被呼召接受仆人式领导。通过效法耶稣的无私和谦卑,我们向周围的人传递耶稣的爱。我们以身作则,在互动和决策中彰显正直、怜悯和恩典。
当我们接受仆人式领导的呼召时,愿我们追随耶稣的脚踪——祂来不是要受人服侍,乃是要服侍人。愿我们的生命也能激励他人以这种方式生活,为我们的家庭、工作场所和社区带来积极的改变。
祷告
主耶稣,愿我们的领导力反映出你的爱和无私,并将荣耀归于你的名。阿们。
马太福音 20:25-28
25耶稣叫了他们来,说:“你们知道,外邦人有君王为主治理他们,有大臣操权管束他们。
26只是在你们中间不可这样,你们中间谁愿为大,就必做你们的用人;
27谁愿为首,就必做你们的仆人。
28正如人子来不是要受人的服侍,乃是要服侍人,并且要舍命做多人的赎价。”
Servant Leadership II
“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:28
In a world that often values power and authority, servant leadership stands as a powerful model for those who seek to make a lasting impact. Jesus, our ultimate example of servant leadership, has shown us that greatness is found in humble service and selfless sacrifice.
Servant leaders place the needs of others before their own. They lead with compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to uplift and empower the people they serve. Instead of seeking to be served, they willingly serve others, pouring out their time, talents, and resources for the well-being of the team or community.
Servant leadership is not about the accumulation of titles or accolades, but about making a positive difference in the lives of others. It involves active listening, fostering an inclusive environment, and recognizing the value and contributions of each person.
As followers of Christ, we are called to embrace servant leadership. By imitating Jesus’ selflessness and humility, we reflect his love to the people around us. We lead by example, showing integrity, compassion, and grace in our interactions and decisions.
As we embrace the call to servant leadership, may we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve. May our lives inspire others to live this way too, bringing positive change to our families, workplaces, and communities.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, may our leadership reflect your love and selflessness and bring glory to your name. Amen.
