Our Boss

Song 1-4; Ephesians 6 

“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would Christ…Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.”

Ephesians 6:5, 7, 8

Paul used the example of slavery to describe how we are to respond to Christ’s authority in our lives.

Do we see Jesus as our owner and boss?

Yes, he is our Saviour and Good Shepherd; but, is he also our boss?

The attitudes Paul calls for are respect, fear (healthy reverence), sincerity of heart, and wholehearted devotion. For this kind of relationship with Jesus we need to be daily processing our lives with him. We need to be in his presence, listening to his Word. Our obedience to all that he has commanded us to do and to be will be rewarded.

Who’s our boss and can others notice?

“Lord Jesus, you are my boss and my friend. Your love has transformed me, for your glory.”
