Thoughts on Vocation (Part 3)
We are called to continue the creative work of God.
"'He gives the wool, but not without our labor. If it is on the sheep, it makes no garment.' God gives the wool, but it must be sheared, carded, spun, etc. In these vocations God's creative work moves on, coming to its destination only with the neighbor who needs the clothing." Wingren, Gustaf, Luther on Vocation, 8-9 (1957).

And have you noticed how the gospel affords us creativity? It's hard to explain, but overly exhortative preaching and teaching is dull and unimaginative and saps the creative juice right out of you. When Christ said he came that we might have life, and have it "more abundantly," surely creativity is an important part of the abundance.
