Christians in the first century were largely marginalized in their world, yet possessed power to develop communities of love and justice that transformed lives. Humility was a chief identity marker for early Jesus-followers. Christian Scripture presents paradoxes related to power and humility: (1) God’s power is often most evident in those society views as insignificant; and (2) Humility dismantles exploitative and dehumanizing practices. Following Jesus includes using power and privilege rightly, especially for those in leadership roles such as teaching, administration, and pastoral service. By taking a deep look at power and humility in the Bible, we can develop perspectives and practices that reject injustice—we will instead find new ways to invigorate our commitment to human flourishing.
