​

Christ as the Ultimate Servant

• ⁵ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not consider it ^[b]robbery to be equal with God, ⁷ but ^[c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross Phil 2:5-8

​

• ¹⁶ For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor 2:16

​

• Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Cor 11:1

Christ drew people closer, did not disperse

• ³⁷ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will ^[f]by no means cast out. John 6:37

​

• ¹³ Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” ¹⁵ And He laid His hands on them and departed from there. Matt 19:13-15

• ²⁸ Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28

Christ came to Show us the Father

• ⁷ “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” John 14:7
• ⁶ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you ^[c]openly. Matthew 6:6
• The Prodgial Son parable
• See 1 Peter 5:7

Mentality of a Shepherd

• ⁴ “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ Luke 15: 4-6

Christ as Healer

• ¹⁷ When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, ^[d]to repentance.” Mark 2:17

HIS SERVICE WAS FULL OF GRACE, MERCY AND COMPASSION

CHRIST AS THE FOOT WASHER

FOR HIM IT WAS JOY�HEB: 12:2
