Abstract

The purpose of this contextual theology-based study is to analyze the leadership character transformation embedded in Christian ethical values, particularly in preventing corruption, upholding justice, and building institutional trust. Through a qualitative study with philosophical textual analysis and selected case studies, this study reveals that persistent social inequality is often maintained by a system that exploits political power legitimation. Meanwhile, religious institutions, particularly churches, which play a crucial role in shaping the character of leaders with faith-based integrity, are still struggling with both internal and external challenges. The findings of this study showed that leadership transformation based on Christian morality should not merely focus on individual transformation but also systemic, which requires a reconciliation between Gospel values and contemporary democratic practices.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of the shepherd’s sacrifice in John 10:11–15 by highlighting the close relationship between sacrifice and relational presence. Interpretations of the statement “the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” are often confined to a soteriological horizon, referring primarily to Jesus’ death on the cross. Through narrative and lexical exegesis, this study demonstrates that the Gospel of John constructs the meaning of sacrifice within the framework of a shepherding relationship marked by presence, mutual knowing, and faithfulness to the flock. By employing a psychological biblical interpretation approach, the shepherd–sheep metaphor is read as a depiction of a relationship that responds to existential vulnerability, in which the shepherd’s presence fosters a sense of security and relational attachment. Christological elaboration affirms that such presence constitutes an integral expression of Jesus’ identity as the Good Shepherd, rather than merely a pastoral function or strategy. The critique of the “hired hand” figure reveals that authentic shepherding is determined by the quality of relationship rather than by the continuity of function or structure alone. This study also outlines the theological and pastoral implications of understanding sacrifice as presence for contemporary church ministry
