Your Work & Your Parenting: Require humility and submission to Christ and to others. Ephesians 6:1-9
Manage episode 406096817 series 3556936
Your job in your workplace & your parenting toward your children BOTH require humility and submission to Christ and to others. This may sound difficult because it usually is difficult. Your going to need to rely heavily on the work and power of the Holy Spirit and the example of Jesus and His attitude.
Ephesians 6:1-9
"1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him."
