For sometime now, I have been reading this book by Mark Greene (Thank God its Monday) which talks about ministry in the work place. It is quite shocking to know that we spend almost one-third of our lives at work. It therefore means the people we work with have somewhat become part of us.
I guess when Jesus said love thy neighbour as thyself - he was also referring to our managers, our colleagues, the security man as well as the cleaner who cleans our desk before we arrive in the morning. Unfortunately, Christians are missing out on these opportunities and have become inclined to "traditional" methods of evangelism such as distributing flyers to strangers on the street. I believe until we realise that our "fussy" manager and our temperamental colleagues are our neighbours, we would continue to lose sight of perhaps one of the greatest commandments of all time.
