Their Watching.....

This whole week, we have been focusing on a verse found in Collosians: And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

For me this verse has a lot to say about how we represent Christ in our workplaces. As Christians we know we need to share the message of Jesus with others. Many times, however, we limit this to the act of personally talking with someone about Christ. In the workplace environment I wonder if a more effective way to share the good news with others is to work as if we are working for the King -- doing it all in the name of the Lord Jesus as the verse says. What if others saw Christians as people who worked the hardest, complained and gossiped the least, did everything with honesty and integrity, always demonstrated a positive attitude, were the first to lend a helping hand and put others before themselves?

Our co-workers are listening but more importantly they are watching. They want to know if the good news of Jesus actually impacts the way we live, the way we work and who we are. If you desire to fulfill the Great Commission work for the King today!
