The last group to be addressed by Paul after wives, husbands, fathers, and children, are slaves and masters. The message that Paul has for them spells out a principle that is equally relevant in our era's employees and employers: treat the work you are doing as if it was for the Lord. When we do this, we not only treat other people, whether they are customers or co-workers, as if they are Jesus and worthy of kindness and respect, but we treat the work itself as if it has dignity and purpose even if that would be otherwise difficult for us to recognize.
God cares about every worker, and God cares about the work that we do. Our whole lives belong to God, including our careers.
