“Jesus taught that authority is not about rights; it’s about responsibility. It’s not about getting; it’s about giving. It’s not about selfishness; it’s about selflessness. It’s not me-focused; it’s other-focused. It’s not the right to demand service; it’s the responsibility to provide it. Authority is a position of weighty responsibility that demands radical obedience to the One from whom all authority flows. Greater authority demands greater responsibility. Scripture warns that those in such positions will be “judged with greater strictness” (James 3:1).”
