Instead, they are to serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers and dear to them. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. Christian employers do not have to bankrupt their company for the sake of their employees, but do what Jesus did. Jesus, who had all the riches of eternity, humbled himself so that he could share those riches with us. So too, Christian employers can humble themselves and work for the empowering of their employees.
People have needs beyond just their material welfare.
People need love, affirmation, and dignity. People need spiritual life. Christian employers must go beyond fair wages and work to empower those that work for them by providing them the essentials and then some. A person has dignity when he knows he can do something well.
