Have you ever watched the television show, Undercover Boss? If you have you know the storyline of the show, if you haven’t let me give you a brief synopsis. The CEO of the company disguises himself to be placed in a position in his own company on the level of the everyday worker. While in training for the position, he gets to know the ground level issues, operations and people, so he can provide solutions to make his company function more effectively.

The joy of this show for me is that when the CEO reveals himself to the ones he worked with in an undercover fashion, most of them are surprised, for they did not know it was him that they were working beside. The CEO is usually very generous to the ones he works with for he hears their stories and wants to support them as they are serving him and his company. It is a great show if you have not seen it.

The reason I share this is because when I read 2 Corinthians 8:9 in the Voice Translation this morning, it made me realize, Jesus came to earth as an undercover boss. “You know the grace that has come to us through our Lord Jesus the Anointed. He set aside His infinite riches and was born into the lowest circumstance so that you may gain great riches through His humble poverty.”

If a television show can showcase the generosity and compassion of a CEO of a company, how much more does Jesus, the King of kings, show compassion and release generosity to us His children, His stewards on earth. Oh friends, we have a very generous God, who came as an undercover boss, to find out how He could improve life for us on earth and He did it by shedding His blood so our sins would be forgiven and our freedom could be not only granted but occupied. Jesus is the best undercover boss I have ever worked for in my life. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
