The Savior taught the Apostles about leadership

As I studied John 13:1-17, Luke 22:24-30 and Mark 10:43-45, I learned about how leadership in the Church of Latter-day Saints is different from what the world usually teaches or describes as leadership.

I learned that those who are the greatest among us should also be our servant. The servant is not greater than his Lord, neither the Lord greater than his servant. All are equal but have different roles. Even Christ came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and give his life for us. I love the example in the scriptures where Jesus washed the feet of his Apostles. What great love he had for those whom he served and served with. There wasn't a limit to how lowly of a job he would perform for them. It is powerful to me when Peter refuses to let Jesus wash his feet and Jesus lets him know that if he won't let him wash his feet then He won't have any part with him.
It is important that we serve and let others serve us, so we can all be blessed!

There have been many times throughout my life where people I know have served and led in the way Jesus Christ has taught.
Before my husband joined the church, we lived in wards that the leaders helped us in a way patterned after after Jesus Christ. I guess you could say my husband was the least of them and they were the greatest. When e we lived in Dallas, Texas the members reached out and helped him get a good job when we didn't have one. The members were always inviting us to do things with them and truly became our friends. They went out of their way to treat us with kindness. In Dayton, Ohio the same thing happened, the leaders and members took an interest in us and prayed about ways they could help us. My husband was not a member of the church and yet they felt inspired to invite us as a couple to take temple preparation classes. I am confident that this class led to his conversion. Within a year he would join the church and a year after that take me to the temple for a temple marriage and sealing. These people were like Christ and were truly concerned for our welfare and helping us come closer to Christ.
I hope I can pay it forward and help others come unto Christ as well!
