The context of the Bible is not primarily the church or the temple. The Bible addresses marketplace issues more than it addresses church issues. Over ninety percent of Jesus’ public appearances were in the marketplace. Over eighty five percent of the parables Jesus told had a workplace context. Over ninety five percent of the divine interventions recorded in the book of Acts were in the marketplace. Fifty four percent of Jesus’ reported teaching ministry arose out of issues posed by others in the scope of daily life experience. Jesus spent His adult life as a carpenter until the age of thirty before He went into a preaching ministry in the workplace for three years. Jesus called twelve workplace individuals, not clergy, to build His church. So we shouldn’t be surprised that business enterprises have a key role to play in bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. Many Christians today see missionaries and ministers as the most spiritual people and the most obedient to God. They would rank spirituality of the following professions in the order they are listed next - missionary, priest, care worker, business person and lawyer. They see their ministry as different to their work. They feel that their work is almost a necessary evil. They are not like Olympic runner Eric Liddell who said “When I run, I feel the pleasure of God”. He certainly felt like God was supporting him in his work. It is God’s intention for us to live an integrated life where there is no distinction between work and ministry, where we understand our call from God and outwork that call in the environment we are called into. Whether we are called to be a plumber, care worker, parent, judge, priest, lawyer, waitress or whatever else, we ought to do so only because we are called by God to do it. We need to know that our call is as honourable as any other vocation to which others are called.
