2 Cor. 12

Paul was so absorbed and committed to his function as an apostle that he had no room for pride in his role. This is the way Christian leaders should comport themselves. They should put all their energies into their job caring for people that they draw no attention to themselves.

A good Christian leader knows that their greatest reward can and will only come from the Lord Himself in the Hereafter. That is more than enough for them. They don’t seek or need the approval of men.

And (Jesus) sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. [Mark 9:35]
