E. Context
a.
Not a list of rules, do’s/don’ts, ect.
1. Paul is describing what being filled w/the H.S. looks like practically
Eph 5:
2. instead, this is placed in ways that Jesus Followers mutually submit
2. instead, this is placed in ways that Jesus Followers are to mutually submit
3. goes on 2 describe how this looks in rel.
practically
i. starts w/marriage re.
ii.
moves on 2 fathers & kiddos (which we’ll talk about next week)
iii.
this week
b.
In this week’s text, Paul is not clearly advocating abolition of slavery (though maybe he expects it 2 die off as KOG breaks in2 time & space cause it’s not apart o KOG which we’ll see)
1. He’s sharing what following Jesus looks like in a person’s current context until Jesus returns & sets all things right
2. Paul clearly believes in practical equality of all people w/in the KOG
i. this is why he’s sharing mutual submission (far beyond what any1 was suggesting during that time)
ii.
We c an even greater discussion of KOG equality in...
iii.
Slaves in that day was found to have been church leaders (even over their slave holder)
c. slaves in that day (esp.
household slaves):
1. had no physical rights (much abuses)
2. could purchase their own freedom (which Christ followers that day often purchased freedom o slaves as they could)
3. could earn $$ on the side
d.
closest rel.
today (w/the exception of lawful physical abuse): employers & employees
II.
BODY
A. Employees & Employers mutually submit (starting with employees)
Eph 6:5-
a. Employees submit to Employers
1. Employees submit by obeying
i. Obey with reverence & respect
-fear & trembling here isn’t about being terrified of the employer,
-but respecting employer’s position & having reverence that his authority is by God’s good pleasure.
*therefore...
ii.
Obey sincerely
-sincere heart=honesty of purpose & wholehearted effort
*why?
Paul says...
iii.
Obey Employers as you would Jesus
-That is, as if you were working directly for Jesus himself…
-simply put the employer’s authority comes from God, so…u r working for Jesus
*reiterated in vs7
-We ARE working 4 the lord so whatever we do should be done well enough as to show God
*so then...
2. No eye-service here
Eph 6:6
i. eye-service= working hard while ur boss is around & then go right back to goofing off
-Skating in the Navy
*person walking around w/a clipboard 2 look official
*people taking up smoking so they could get a break
*when a LPO, C, / O walks in the room every1 scurries to look busy
-This should never b said o a Christ-Follower
*We should do our best work regardless o who’s watching (movie “Ruddie”)
~cause it all comes down to motivation
*We R working as to the LORD so whatever we do should be done well enough as to show God
ii. are we trying to please God, or man?
iii.
fulfilling our earthly obligations sincerely IS serving God!
-Why do we go 2 work every day?
-R we there because we feel trapped?
*is it just so we can get a paycheck?
*What if God has us where we r on purpose?
*What if where we work was by HIS good pleasure?
