Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Ephesians 6:5
The book of Ephesians is focussed on the character of Christ’s church. Paul, the author, was a missionary to gentiles but he entertained no division or prejudice in the body of Christ. As Christians, we are all on equal terms and God does not play favorites.
Our attitude toward those who have authority over us is not a reflection of their character, but rather ours and our behavior and attitude is a perfect reflection of our relationship with Jesus. Our actions are our testimony.
Have a great Monday,
