Servanthood, Leadership

Christian leaders are, in the first place, “only servants.” In this context, Paul does not mean “servants of the church,” but “servants of Jesus Christ,” for here it is the Lord who “has assigned to each his task.” Moreover, they are specifically called “servants of Christ” in 1 Corinthians 4:1.
