CHRISTIAN OCCUPATION

In Colossians 3:1, Paul admonishes us with these words, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.”
Christian citizenship is in heaven where our judicial status has been established through the justifying work of Christ in His cross. For not only is Christ risen, but also believers with Him have been raised up by grace and made to sit together with Him in the heavenlies.
The Christian hope is in heaven. Therefore Christian occupation must be heavenly. God is our overseer as we labor in the vineyard of the Lord. We plant our seed while here on earth, but our crop will be harvested in glory.
The great business of the believer is to be doing the things that enlarge the Kingdom of Heaven. His is that of His Master’s who said, “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business” (Luke 2:49).
As the Christian’s occupation is heavenly, so are all his hopes. The believer does not expect lasting satisfaction from anything in this decaying world. As it is said of Abraham so of every true son of that patriarch, “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Heb.11:10). The Puritan Joseph Alleine made a most sober and fearfully correct judgment when he said, “There is no surer evidence of an unconverted state than to have the things of the world uppermost in our aim, love and estimation.”
When we read our Bibles we profit if we avoid the costly mistakes which many of the ancients suffered. Jacob’s incomplete obedience when he left Padan-Aram is an example. “And the LORD had said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee” (Gen.31:3). But the patriarch settled in a place called “Shecham” which was approximately half of the journey. Great havoc broke out while there, his daughter Dinah was molested; his sons, by murdering the Shechemites, brought great terror upon his soul. It was only by God’s mercy that he escaped the revenge of the people.
The Christian race has a finish line and he must stay on course till he crosses it; no halting in the middle, no veering to the right or to the left. Let us take heed to the proverb, “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established” (Pro.4:25-26), and we shall win the prize.
