In Mesopotamia, humans were to help the gods do the running of the universe. The Egyptian story treats humans as quote, cattle of the gods. And humans were a pest. So God and the Bible is a working God. Therefore, that should frame how Christians would be thinking about work.
When we talk about work, it’s easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.
