Masters and Slaves

Living in Covenant

A Personal Perspective

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Marriage a Covenant of Mutual Love

Ephesians 6:5-9 The Message

5-8 Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters but always with an eye to obeying the real master, Christ. Don’t just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christ’s servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matter who happens to be giving the orders, you’re really serving God. Good work will get you good pay from the Master, regardless of whether you are slave or free.
9 Masters, it’s the same with you. No abuse, please, and no threats. You and your servants are both under the same Master in heaven. He makes no distinction between you and them.

For Reflection

Whatever your vocation or for whomever you work, do your best to serve your employer and your God. Employers\managers\supervisors, your position power does not warrant the abuse of your employees.

Pray
Thank God, for the work with which you have been entrusted. Pray and know that God makes no distinction among workers and managers.
