That's my Jesus!!! A TRUE servant leader

Men,

We all consider ourselves "servant leaders."  Do we really know what that means or looks like? 

Check out this sermon given by Voddie Baucham "Leading as a Servant" at the Truth & Life Conference 2011.  Below is an excerpt:

His first act as a servant leader:

The Creator of the universe, wraps Himself in human flesh, not only that, but He submits Himself as an obedient Son not only to sinful parents, but to parents that sinned against Him, not only to sinful parents that sinned against Him, but sinful parents He created who sin against Him. And He submits to them in everything.

Christ the servant leader, takes upon the sins of those whom He serves and He dies in their stead, but WHY???

For His Father's Glory!!!

Does He get exalted, yes He does...by His Father...AFTER He dies.

So then, you and I as servant leaders...what do we do???

We give ourselves away as slaves, and we serve those to whom we have been called. Experiencing humiliation if necessary in the process. Why? So eventually we can become well known?

THAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A SERVANT LEADER.

No. So that Christ, may be glorified in the lives of those whom we serve.

When that happens, not only do you not turn it around and seek the higher position of notoriaty, but you're actually terrified of it.  Because it makes it more and more difficult to be humble.  And when people come up to you and say "How much you meant to me" and when a servant leader hears that, the one thing that goes through their mind is, "Oh how terrible it would be for me to take that into myself and rob God of His Glory." 

Servant leadership is not about becoming rich or well known, its about you making much of Christ, and He will not share His Glory with another.
