For those who aren't familiar with the show, the premise is basically what you would assume from the title. A CEO or owner of a company goes undercover into a lower end job in his or her company.So, for example, someone high up in a fast food chain may go in as a manager or even a fry cook at one of their locations to see first hand how difficult the job really is, how well training is or isn't helping, if company policy is good or bad on a practical level and what it is like to live in the day to day trenches of the company. I guess part of the appeal is watching these business giants struggle to keep up with the rush and pressure that so many low educated blue collar and minimum wage employees do on a daily basis. From what I understand, many of the bosses would not be able to keep their jobs through the training period if they were actually evaluated and hired based on their performance. Of course, there are also sad stories of their new coworkers to help with the drama factor, and the boss or company does something to help the people in their struggle.
So, what's the point? Why am I even writing about this show that I don't watch? Well, it's because although I don't watch it, it came to mind the other day as I thought about what Jesus did for us. The first episode of Undercover Boss wasn't a TV show. The God of the universe wrapped Himself in flesh and lowered Himself to go through the struggle of our lives. But unlike the bosses on TV, He didn't flounder, mess up and look foolish. He stepped into our shoes and walked in them better than we ever could. He did the job of being human perfectly. He showed that the company policy could be followed and that it is the best way. And He did something to help us all with our sufferings, sorrows and sob stories.
We don't have some far away God that doesn't understand what we are going through or how hard life is. He gets it. He's been there and done that. He's faced what we face and suffered what we suffer, and then some. And now that He's done what we were always supposed to do but couldn't, He's sharing freely with us the same power that made Him able to do it so that we can be free to do it as well. He came from heaven to earth and made it possible for us to do life well and to have a life worth living characterized by love, peace and joy.
