1 Cor 1:1-9 / Matthew 24:42-51
Once in a while, we may have entertained the thought of being our own boss.
Maybe it is because we get tired and frustrated of being bossed around and being told to get more and more work done.
So it might be nice to dream that we can be our own boss and order people around and make them work while we just give orders.
But for those of us who are our own boss, whether we run our own business or self-employed, we will know how much harder it is than to be just an employee.
We must be really disciplined and work much harder and because there is practically no one to report to, we can give in to laziness and begin to slack.
But whether we are an employer or an employee, there must be a sense of responsibility and accountability.
If such is required in the secular life, then no less is expected in the spiritual life.
We know that God is our Master and that we are His servants and we are called to serve God in the ministry of love.
We are to serve our neighbours with love and to do it at all times and to do it willing and graciously.
Let us be responsible to our Christian duty and God will keep us steady and without blame for God has called us to serve with love and He will help us to be faithful
