Transcript
Yesterday, we learned that work is a good thing. We were created to work. But we know from experience that work is often very hard—it often doesn’t feel like a good thing. Why is this?
Well, Genesis tells us that the ground was cursed because of Adam’s sin. Thorns and thistles now made his job of caring for creation more difficult. We’ve been fighting these “thorns and thistles” ever since. Romans tells us all of creation groans from the fall. Work is hard because of sin and the curse!
But that doesn’t mean work is all bad. It still carries a remnant of its original “very good” design. We’ll learn more about that tomorrow.
