When we meet God in the beginning, we see that God is a worker. Usually God's are the ones who are served. They don't do the work themselves. This is exactly what Moses was trying to upend as he was communicating the beginnings of time to us. And so I think that's a very helpful thing for us to see that work is a good thing.
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.
