You might want to consider His words recorded in Matthew 20:26-28, Dave. "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those that are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." Peter got the message. Look at his advice in 1 Peter, 5:2-3 "Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers not by compulsion, but willingly, not for dishonest gain, but eagerly nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."
