Whom Do We Work For?

-April 29, 2022-

Good morning, happy Friday,

“Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ, not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.”

(Ephesians 6:5-7).

If someone asked you this question, whom do you work for? How would you answer? If you have a job, you would respond with your company name, and that is certainly true, but in actuality if you are a believer in Christ, you work for Him. He is our Lord and King; He is our boss. Christians should be the best employees for this reason. Our performance, attitude, attendance, and punctuality should be outstanding.

We should be sincere whether the boss is watching us or not. Jesus our true boss is always watching and listening to us. As servants of Christ we are His bondservants and must do God’s will from our hearts. Whether we are employees working at the office some days or from home all the days, it should not matter. We should do our work as unto Jesus.

Paul says to all of us in verse 7, “With good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men.” This applies equally well to those who are homemakers, retired folk, military personnel, and or kids in school. It is a good reminder to us of who we really work for, Jesus Christ. When we please Him, it won’t be hard to please those over us. We are all stewards of our time, talents and treasures. One day we must give an account of our service to our Lord. Paul wrote in Romans 14:12, “So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God.”

Jesus is the best judge, for He sees, hears, and knows everything. Not only that, but He knows our thoughts, motives, attitudes and desires as well. Let us do everything in His name and for His glory. At times we make mistakes, sin and fail, we all do, but let’s confess them to the Lord and move on.

Have a blessed day working for Jesus. Stay safe and healthy.

In His service,

Dean
