“There was a man, a baker by trade, who taught Sunday school at his church and served on a church committee. One day, while riding a train, he was approached by an overzealous woman he’d never seen before who was trying to evangelize people. She asked him, ‘What work do you do for God?’
He replied, ‘I bake bread.’ She said, ‘I don’t mean your trade, but what service do you do for our Savior?
‘I bake bread,’ he said. She tried again, ‘I mean, how are you seeking to glorify Christ and spread his gospel?’
‘I bake bread,’ he said once more. Because of the way he viewed his calling, that answer was exactly right.’” [Proclaim Illustration]
Is your life’s work, is what you are doing for a living your work for God? Blessed is the one whose work here, whose actions here and whose life here is their work for God, blessed indeed are they, if you have not yet joined them, today please do.
May God Be Praised.
Amen. Alleluia.
