Labor on this Question Today

          Get off the metro and find the path of life....

“Are we making a living, 

or…

   Learning how to live?” 

 Get off that metro for just one day and ask yourself the question  that matters all of your days--are you learning how to live, to craft a life?  Or is this just a day to kick back, rest, and then start it all over again?  Of course we have to make a living to live.  The point, however, is how we stop in the middle of it to learn how to live—to grow into a life.

Paul was after that message in his letter to the Ephesians.  To be a Christian is to grow up into Christ, what he called the full stature and maturity of Christ—a life that is a labor of love.  (see Ephesians 4)  Now that is a far cry from taking a day off for Labor Day—just to stop the conveyer belt and go back and do it all over again.
