Jesus and the Victim Mentality

It can feel safe and comfortable to take the role of the victim, and at some point in life we've all done it. But this week we compare to stories in the Bible, that of 1 Samuel 15 where King Saul is answering to Samuel, and John 10 where Jesus talks about being a good shepherd, and we can see a big difference in power between the one who claims victim-hood and the one who doesn't.
