What did Jesus Do? What did Jesus’ life look like?

What does Jesus’ upside down model mean to 21st century Americans?

Here are some interesting ideas from William Guice, the pastor of a church plant in Spring Hill, TN:

Power Over = Manipulation, Control, Power, Coercion, Violence
Power Under = Serving, Healing, Loving, Listening, Giving

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.
Value others above yourself.
Look after others interest and not your own.
In your relationships…
Have the attitude of Christ.
He emptied himself of power and the ability to control.
Even to the point of being submitted to the powers of this world

On planet earth it appears that control/manipulation exist on one end of a paradigm and love/compassion on the other end.

To truly love, you must give up control.
