Abstract:
Over the decades there is an increasing concern comes to Jesus' synergy of leadership, academic discipline and public administration. The article examined Jesus's public life and professional ethics like an adult who is embarrassed to be in the company of his parents and the community because he still depended on their financial support. Theorizing in public administration contains virtually no consideration of Jesus or his teachings. The discipline has ignored Jesus' synergy of life even when seeking a code of ethics for public employees. This oversight is remarkable, because Jesus exerted, and continues to exert, an enormous impact on politics and government in Western civilization. He fostered the idea of government as "public service" from which grows the modern belief that leaders are accountable to those whom they govern. He taught us to temper law with mercy to put more emphasis on intentions than on actions and consequences; to give everyone a fair hearing, and to avoid judging hastily Nor is Jesus' influence limited to his impact on our political institutions and culture. It is evident directly in ongoing politics and administration -in the rise of the Christian Right, in conflict over abortion, and in policy areas ranging from welfare and health care to law enforcement and criminal justice in the contemporary World.
