Pretty much the fact but not they way Jesus described the way it should be in his congregation. The leaders of Jesus's church's are called "servants" for a reason. They are to serve the flock humbly and not "lord over it", as most do.

It makes me wonder about some religions teaching that some of the saved or survivors will have a favored place. Providing an example in the present day about that caste system, seems to be what is going on.
