Jesus was quoted saying: "I am in the midst of you as one who serves". How does this style of leadership differ from others?

It totally subverts the usual leadership! Usually we have to honor the leaders as they have the power to hurt us. So it is opposition between people and people often use leadership to protect themselves by attacking other ones. While Jesus' leadership passes love on to people, that is, those who are strong and powerful should protect and help those weak and powerless, and those who possess the capacities should exert their talents gifted by God to realize their values and to fulfill the mission assigned by God.

What things are Gods? "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar`s, and to God the things that are God`s."

Our hearts and spirits are God's. Caesar collected taxes to support his government, so just give him. But people need to bear God's words in heart, that is love, righteousness, justness, etc., and do things in the right way.

Judas was one of the 12 men closest to Jesus. Why would Judas betray Jesus?

The greed for money made Judas betray Jesus. Though he was close to Jesus, he didn't accept Jesus' words. Money was more practical for him. But I'm not sure whether Judas knew Jesus would be put to death if delivered to the chief priests. Judas might not have delivered Jesus if he had known the result. But still Judas was greedy for money, which sooner or later would lead him astray.
