"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Phil 2:5-8 Service The occupation or function of serving. A slave and a servant both serve, but: a slave obeys his master’s orders, a servant seeks to fulfill his master’s desires. A slave would desire to escape from labors, a servant would seek to engage in labors. Slaves view labor as drudgery, servants view labor as delight. A slave hates the master, while a servant loves the master. Slaves do the minimum duty, servants go above and beyond duty.		Character traits of a servant:
