Pay Attention

Undercover Boss (CBS, Sunday, 8pm) is must-see TV for my wife and me every week. This show deals with a company president going in disguise to various branches of his corporation to find out the pulse of how things are really going. The show always concludes with an emotional tear-jerking judgment time with the now undisguised boss. Bad employees are disciplined. The good ones are rewarded with things like thousands in cash, cars, homes, vacations, scholarships for employee children, and much more.

How aware are you of the issues of those in your workplace? Are you first to volunteer to help set up the baby shower for Lilly, who is having her first child-a boy? Keller is going into the hospital for gallbladder surgery. Who at work will make sure flowers are sent? Mallory is finally having knee surgery on her left leg. The recuperation will be long. What can you (and her co-workers do to speak the language of Jesus’ love to her?

Read Matthew 25:31-46, and note the similarities between everything that you just read. (The goats and the sheep sound a lot like an episode of Undercover Boss.)Remember, Jesus is served everytime you help those less fortunate than yourself.
