He uses the imperfect to be leaders.
Humility is what is required. We are all called to be disciples
To others. Be the example.
Vs.5. Follow the leaders in humility. Place yourselves under the authority of theses are over us. Cloth yourselves with humility one to another. Jesus is the example by washing the disciples feet. Application of the action. God gives grace to the humble., but opposed to the proud.
Vs.6 under the mighty hand of God, completely subject to what he has for me; satisfied. He will exalt and lift us up. Honor and happiness. This happens at the proper time,opportune time. It happens when we can handle this.
