In today’s world, business and ministry often revolve around influence, productivity, and profit. Leaders chase metrics, build brands, and pursue growth. But look at Jesus’ life, and we see a radically different approach. His model was as revolutionary then as it would be now, standing in stark contrast not only to today’s ideals but also to the Roman power structure of His time.
Jesus led by serving others, not by chasing status or wealth. Instead of financial security, He trusted in God’s provision, reminding us that purpose-driven influence holds more lasting impact than profit alone. While the Romans built an empire through power and control, Jesus built a legacy of compassion and empowerment.
Imagine leading in a way that lifts people up rather than holding power over them. Jesus’ approach shows us that the true path to lasting influence is by investing in others, focusing on people over profit, and building a community of purpose. As we step into a new year, let’s remember His example. The greatest legacy we leave is rooted in service, not status.
