BECOMING LIKE JESUS IN ATTITUDE
Scripture: MATTHEW 20:10-11, MATTHEW 20:15, MATTHEW 20:17-28, PHILIPPIANS 2:5-7, PSALMS 37:1-2

but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep
and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
10:13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares
nothing for the sheep.
SLAVES - OWNED, PROPERTY TO BE BOUGHT OR SOLD.
DOULOS "IN BONDAGE"
1. YOU WERE CONQUERED.
2. YOU BECAME INDEBTED, AND WERE SOLD TO PAY OFF THE DEBT.
3. YOU WERE BORN INTO A FAMILY IN SERVATUDE.
JESUS USED THE CONCEPT OF SERVANT AND MASTER TO EMPHASIZE
LOYALTY AS IN MAT 6: 24 "No one can serve two masters. Either
