Practically living out the above verse is always a challenge.

 

At work or in school, we face difficult situations, challenging people and even feeling of meaninglessness that makes it feel impossible to imagine that our work is for the Lord. In his video, Jonathan Roumie mentioned the importance of finding Christ in everything we do (or in his case, every character he plays). He brought up the heroin addict character that he played, and how people questioned his decision as he was also playing Jesus in The Chosen. He gave a stern answer that Jesus would especially want to minister to a heroine addict. Likewise, it is especially in times of despair and in the most difficult people that Jesus’ presence is most radiant. He gives our work a greater purpose, to point towards Him and glorify Him.
