“Has anyone else seen a hierarchy system that actually worked well and didn’t include some abuse?”

LMB,
Exactly, since no one, except Jesus, is perfect, we know that it is an impossibility for any human to ever carry that out.
“Now an argument sprang up among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.” (sound familiar?) “But he said to them, “The kings of the gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you should begin to be as the youngest, and the one who leads should begin to be as the one who serves.”

“An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all—he is the greatest.” Luke 9:48

Is it just me, or does it seem to you that His disciples had a hard time “getting” this??
