In ordinary affairs, those in power are at the top and tend more to their own interests. In God’s plan, those in power look after the interests of those they are over. They serve, giving or sacrificing as necessary for the good of those they serve.
Mark 10:42-45 (TPT) 42 Jesus gathered them all together and said to them, “Those recognized as rulers of the people and those who are in top leadership positions rule oppressively over their subjects, but this is not the example you are to follow. 43 You are to lead by a different model. If you want to be the greatest one, then live as one called to serve others. 44 The path to promotion and prominence comes by having the heart of a bond-slave who serves everyone. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come expecting to be served by everyone, but to serve everyone, and to give his life as the ransom price in exchange for the salvation of many.”
