Rather than seeking approval from men, Jesus did that which was approved by God. Therefore, His actions and behaviors often seemed unconventional to those around Him.
The most important event in human history is and was the birth of our Lord Jesus. Everything else, including His ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection, hinged upon that initial event that began His earthly life.
A key leadership attribute is humility, and from the example of Jesus, we see that true humility means focusing our eyes on God, allowing Him to lift us up in due time instead of seeking honor for ourselves.
