If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all. (Mk 9:30-37)
Two drivers had an altercation along Wilson road. One of the driver went out of his car and shot the other driver who happened to be a college student. Abuse of power.
Two students were held up by "palengke" boys (toughies). Abuse of power.
A politician owned a subdivision. He had the DPWH construct a concrete road to connect his subdivision to the main road. Abuse of power.
A young congressman was found with drugs at the airport. No charges were ever brought against the congressman. The man who found the drugs was removed from the airport. Abuse of power.
A teacher sells shoes, encyclopedia, kitchen wares to the her students or to their parents. Abuse of power.
What is power for?
The response of Jesus: “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”
Power is for the exercise of servant-leadership.
