If I might add to my post no. 19 above which I neglected to state; a servant cannot be a servant until he is first disciplined by his (master) teacher. After he is fully disciplined as a disciple, it is only then that he is ready to become a faithful servant that knows the will of his Lord. He moves from the disciple/master relationship to the servant/lord relationship.
There are yet four other relationships above that of the servant/lord relationship though few, in this present age ever achieve any greater relationship that that of servant/lord, though that is the relationship we never leave though other relationships develop with maturity.
