How do we know that elders should lead by example?

Answered in 1 source

Elders are to lead by example as they take oversight of God's heritage, reflecting Christ's humility and service.

1 Peter 5:3 emphasizes that elders should not lord over God's heritage but be examples to the flock. This principle aligns with the teachings of Jesus, who consistently modeled servant leadership. Elders are called to embody humility and serve God's people without exerting heavy-handed authority. It is important for spiritual leaders to foster a community characterized by love and service, as they are to reflect the heart of Christ.
