At the outset of Christ's ministry, He did not call people who were sitting idly. He called people who were busy with their secular works. The gospel record we have revealed that Andrew, Peter, James and John were fishing ' when the Lord decided to make them fishers of men. Also, He called Matthew from the tax collector's booth.
Paul enjoined the Christians in Corinth to stand firm and to always give themselves to the work of the Lord, having this assurance that their labour in the Lord would not be in vain.
Paul's admonition here suggests that Christians have been called to work.
George Duffield, the composer of the timeless hymn,'Stand up, stand up for Jesus' writes in the 3" stanza:
The preacher says the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandment. This entails work! It implies the need to serve God and one another: The parable of the talents shows us that the Lord hates laziness. We cannot afford to bury the gifts that we have been given. We must put it to effective use to glorify the Master for this is His desire.
