Job vs. Career vs. Calling

Have you heard the parable of the bricklayers?

The setting is London. Just after midnight on a Sunday in early September 1666, a fire breaks out in a small bakery. The wind quickly fans the flames into a firestorm that sweeps through the medieval city.

The Great Fire of London leaves most of the city in ruins in four days, including the famous St. Paul’s Cathedral. Crews get to work, and most of London is reconstructed by 1671. But rebuilding St. Paul’s will take 33 years. From this reconstruction period, we get the story of three bricklayers.
