Slaves Obey
Ephesians 6:5
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.” Ephesians 6:5 HCSB
The third and final relationship Paul considers under the overarching principle of submitting to one another is that of slave and master. In our day we could apply this relationship to employee and employer. A slave was to submit, to obey, respect, and honor his master. A slave was to faithfully, sincerely, responsibly, and consistently perform his assigned task, while being mindful that ultimately he was serving Christ in all that he does.
Lord Jesus, help me to bring honor and glory to You by being a good employee, submitting to and respecting my employer and faithfully doing my very best at whatever task I have been given.
