I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS

(Jesus and People)

Jesus had big heart toward needy (hunting, good samaritan)

Jesus wore servant hood garment

Bondage in slavery, freedom is serving

Slave has to – a servant gets to

Slave does the minimum requirements – a servant reaches the maximum potential

Slave is bound – a servant is free

Slave fights for his rights – a servant lays down his rights

- washed feet; acted like one:

Jesus had forgiving attitude

Forgiveness is free from bitterness; revenge; (they deserved)

Forgiveness sets you free before it will set some body free

Forgiveness demands change

Jesus was trustworthy

TRUST – is benefit of integrity

Integrity – possession of high moral standards (do good when no one is watching)

Integrity – is not determined by circumstances

is not to be confused with reputation

REPUTATION – what you ought to be; photograph CHARACTER – what you are; face

Jesus never allowed people to take God’s place in His life

Jesus never changed the truth in order to please people

Jesus offended people as a result of obeying His Father and serving others, not because of serving Himself. offense causes hurt; anger; - 1 Peter 2:6-8 “rock of offense” - offended PHARISEES; HIS OWN TOWN; FAMILY MEMBERS; STAFF; CLOSE FRIENDS; JOHN BAPTIST

- devils trick is to keep the offense hidden; clothed with pride; pride will never admit true condition.
