Leo Durocher,
a major league manager from several decades ago, had a saying. His motto for
leadership was "Nice guys finish last." But, Jesus says: "The
last shall be first, and the first shall be last." Our CEO's and
executives spend fortunes on power ties, power lunches, and power broking.
After all, power and control are what it's all about, right? But, Jesus says:
"My power is not of this world... it comes from above." We believe
leaders should have special parking places, the best seats at a banquet, the finest
service at a restaurant. And haven't they earned those huge severance packages?
But, Jesus says: "The Son of Man came to serve, not to be served... and to
give His life as a ransom for many."
