How To Act Like You Know Jesus

Titus 2:7-10
"And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern and a model of good deeds and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity and seriousness.
And let your instruction be sound and fit and wise and wholesome, vigorous andirrefutable and above censure, so that the opponent may be put to shame, finding nothing discrediting or evil to say about us.
[Tell] bond servants to be submissive to their masters, to be pleasing and give satisfaction in every way. [Warn them] not to talk back or contradict,
Nor to steal by taking things of small value, but to prove themselves truly loyal and entirely reliable and faithful throughout, so that in everything they may be an ornament and do credit to the teaching [which is] from and about God our Savior."

It is hard to think of early Believer's had bond servants. They were slave owners. Titus the Pastor of this group was getting from his pastor a letter telling how to act. Because they now know Jesus, they are to teach themselves how to act like they know Jesus... Teaching their bond servants how to show respect.... Jesus has taught us how The Father Is, and He Walked The Talk...
