Think the way Jesus thought Speak the way He spoke Act the way He behaved Desire what He desired Hate what He hated

He loved the lowly and opposed the haughty. Cp. Lk. 18:10ff; Rom. 12:16 He healed the unhealthy. Cp. Matt. 9:10ff He forgave the fallen. Jn. 8:1ff He devoted His life to God because God was sanctified in His heart. Cp. Col. 3:16-17

‘What’ Jesus had power because of the purpose (please God) and attitude (love) behind His actions. 1 Cor. 13:1ff
