Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.This is the calling of all believers, and especially leaders. We are not actually leaders or people of authority, but rather servants of Christ. Since Christ has rule over all, He has given us as servants a level of authority to use in the furtherance of His kingdom, but the authority is not ours independent of Him.
Similarly, we are not rulers, but stewards. We are entrusted with a portion of God's kingdom, or His power, again to use as He has directed. Without that decree, we have nothing, and to misuse His trust is to invite discipline.
