Working for the Lord | Colossians 3:22-4:1

The Apostle Paul wraps up his section on how the Gospel shapes households by addressing slaves and masters. In doing so, Paul is not endorsing the institution of slavery, but instructing Christians on how to faithfully operate within that pre-existing system while also subtly undermining the entire system itself. Through this passage, we see that regardless of our specific jobs, we are all ultimately working for the Lord. As such, we should work with integrity, excellence, and perseverance.
