Here's a couple of quotes that are pretty helpful when it comes to thinking about work. They are based on our text for the week (Eph. 6:5-9).Everything we do involves a direct encounter with Jesus Christ. He is the origin and recipient of every act. If this is true, no act is mundane and no person is unimportant.
All of us stand on equal footing with the same Lord, who cares deeply how we treat each other and will hold us accountable.
...We are slaves of Christ. We belong to him and serve him. If we take seriously that he is the origin and recipient of every act, all our work takes on meaning and our treatment of people changes. Work will be done with care, not just to get by. People will be nurtured, not used or ignored.
These thoughts come from Klyne Snodgrass.
