Many people dream of being in charge. As we sit in our offices or cubicles or classrooms, we think about how wonderful it would be if we were the ones calling the shots. Every once in a while, we achieve our dream and we become the boss or the teacher or the CEO. Often, this is the exact point that we begin daydreaming about how wonderful it would be just to be a worker and not to have the burden of being in charge.
It’s tough to be under authority, and it’s tough to be in authority. However, the saddest part of authority relationships is that they often create segregation between the two groups. Paul’s message in Colossians 3:22-4:1 is that this doesn’t have to be the case. He seems to think that the gospel of Jesus solves this gap and equips both groups for selfless living.
