Introduction How do you define greatness? What makes someone or an organization great? Jim Collins speaks of the Level 5 leader who “channels their ego needs away from themselves and whose ambition is first and foremost for the institution, not themselves.” Robert Greenleaf spoke of the servant leader whose “primary role is to serve others — putting the needs, growth, and well-being of their people first”. The right kind of leadership is essential to great and sustained success. The time has come for us to engage in an in-depth study of the most relevant person who has ever lived: Jesus Christ.  And in my view, the best way to do that is to explore one of the four Gospel accounts we have in the New Testament. “Why did Jesus come?” Matthew’s gospel account tells us that Jesus came “not to abolish the Law (Torah) or the Prophets but to fulfill them.” (Matt. 5:17-18). Dr. Luke records in his gospel account that Jesus came to “seek and save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:9-10). And the Apostle John quotes Jesus as saying that “I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10). Mark tells us that “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45). Jesus was the original Level 5 leader, the original Servant Leader. He not only taught about what greatness is but also lived it out to the point of the ultimate sacrifice. He came to serve us and for our benefit, but ultimately, He came to serve God the Father in His ultimate plan of redemption. Our new series is a study of Mark’s Gospel account titled “Jesus, the Servant of Yahweh.” Let’s get started.
