Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is our model of a servant leader. He leads the Church – local and global – with perfect love, truth, and holiness. Ephesians 4:16 teaches us that “From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Let’s build each other up in love!
