What does servant leadership look like in relation to honouring your elders?

Yet, we also read Bible verses that exhort us to honour our elders and give them the respect they are due – which many times translates into serving them.

What is the balance for a Christian leader? It is an interesting concept… especially in the African context where so many spiritual leaders are being honoured to extreme measures. It certainly is a far cry from the example of Jesus who was content to kneel down and wash his disciples’ feet and carry his own cross up the hill of Calvary! What does the Bible say about this issue? I will quote a couple of verses, then we will pick them apart to analyse the content for the answers we seek.
