Kepemimpinan Pelayanan dalam Yohanes 13:1-20 dan Implikasinya terhadap Profesionalisme Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen Masa Kini
Keywords:
Servant Leadership, John 13:1-20Abstract
This study explores the meaning of servant leadership as demonstrated by Jesus in John 13:1-
20 and its relevance to enhancing the professionalism of Christian Religious Education (CRE)
teachers in the present context. Employing a qualitative method through a biblical-exegetical
approach combined with literature review, the study reveals that Jesus’ act of washing His
disciples’ feet embodies humility, sacrifice, and love—the core elements of servant leadership.
These values play a crucial role in shaping the character, work ethic, and competencies of
CRE teachers. Beyond mastering subject matter, CRE teachers are expected to exemplify
integrity, empathy, and commitment in guiding students toward spiritual maturity and
Christian character development. The study recommends the integration of Jesus’ servant
leadership principles into CRE teacher education and training, as well as their consistent
application in daily teaching, thereby fostering a holistic professionalism that encompasses
academic, spiritual, and ethical dimensions.
