Looking to get promoted? Here’s Jesus’ plan.

Main message: True leadership in Jesus' kingdom is upside-down: promotion comes by becoming last, least, and a servant, modeled supremely by Jesus washing his disciples' feet.

Key points:

• Kingdom leadership rejects the typical "climb the ladder" org-chart approach.
• Being promoted by Jesus means choosing the lowest position and serving others.
• Jesus modeled this by removing his outer garments, taking a towel, and washing his disciples' feet.
• Leadership is defined by humility and service rather than status or rank.
• This servant-leadership theme was a frequent teaching Jesus emphasized to his disciples.
