Samach Vav: Eileh HaDevarim, Part 5: The distinction between the עבד נאמן and the בן
Superficially, the Avodah of the עבד נאמן, and that of the בן appear very similar. The critical distinction lies in the fact that, in the case of the בן, the great love that drives his service is not self-generated but is rather a spiritual inheritance from his father. The בן, after all, derives from, and thus shares his fathers essence. The great love of the עבד נאמן, on the other hand is a product of his own efforts.
