INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON

We spend a great deal of our lives working.  The work by which we earn our living (typically) consumes somewhere between a quarter and a third of our lives!  Many – especially in the current economy – have a second job to be able to make ends meet.  Clearly, that adds both hours and stress to their workload.  And then we get home from the office, the hospital or the factory only to find that there are hours of housework waiting for us.  No wonder we ask,“Will the work never end?!”

Despite the fact that we need work in order to support ourselves and that, additionally, we need work in order to have meaning and purpose in life, many of us, if we didn’t have to do it, would do much less of it!

It’s true that if we’re honest with ourselves, most of us know in our heart of hearts that we would not choose a lifewithout any work.  Such a life might sound appealing to begin with, but would soon become appalling because of its meaninglessness.  Work, kept within its appropriate boundaries, is a good thing.

Our question is quite simple:  Can we experience the abundant life that Jesus promised us in the arena of work?

Set your work aside for a Sabbath day, and join us as we consider how Scripture might help us to answer such a question.
