Life Following Enlightenment

Zen master, “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”

First century people had professions or labor.

They discovered the teachings of Jesus, changed the direction of their lives, became followers.

Paul reminded them to continue in their professions.

Same for us today. Follow Jesus. Change the direction, the meaning of our lives. Continue to perform work that improves the lives of those around us—or even far away.
