And that to obey God, and do these things well, is honouring to him - as well as beneficial to us and to society! Talk about a Win-Win situation. The book also shows us that Vocation is bigger than a "job" - rather we have many vocations - such as parent, child, citizen, etc. Whereas for us Christians, Vocation gives us a welcomed opportunity to better love our neighbour.
I also liked that Wingren shows that Luther's argument went further than just Christianity - rather that God uses Vocation to "force" Society (both Governments and people) to love their neighbour. This is a just a "taste" of Luther's approach. In doing his vocation well, the Baker shows forth God's love to his neighbour, as well as to his family. This shows us that Luther's arguments from almost 500 years ago are still needed today! For example, the Baker, in his vocation, is called to be a good baker - to bake good and healthy bread, and make it available at a reasonable price - so that he enable his neighbour to purchase food, and that he can feed his own family. If God is going to issue a "call", then surely it would be to one of these "higher" roles in His Kingdom. So often we fall into the trap of thinking that vocation (or calling) is something that just applies to Pastors and Missionaries. This book was originally written in the 1950's and this English translation makes it available for those of us who don't speak German - and for that I am grateful.

On earth, on the other hand, one must give thought to office and station, not to the sin of the heart.” ( ) 10 The sin of the person himself is judged and forgiven in heaven, where there is no question of station, office and vocation, but only about the heart. The issue is whether the ‘station’ itself is sinful or not. The significant thing is not whether I enter such a station as one who is sinful and worthless. “If I find myself an occupant of some of these life stations which serve the well-being of others, I must not entertain the slightest doubt of God’s pleasure, but believe the gospel. So it is the ‘station’ itself which is the ethical agent, for it is God who is active through the law on earth.” ( ) At work in marriage is a power which compels self-giving to spouse and children. Rather, in marriage as an institution something compels the husband’s selfish desires to yield and likewise inhibits the egocentricity of the wife’s heart. Research on the use of learning logs and journals i n the classroom has been done by Brownlie, Close, and Wingren. When husband and wife, in marriage, serve one another and their children, this is not due to the heart’s spontaneous and undisturbed expression of love, every day and hour. “The human being is self-willed, desiring that whatever happens shall be to his own advantage. 6 Certainly the Ten Commandments are conceived as applicable under the term Beruf.” ( Pages 2–3) It is striking for example that being a chaste and moderate young person is part of one’s vocation as son or daughter. Then he stresses the greatness of the responsibilities involved in these external relationships if one had four heads and ten hands he would still be unable to fulfil them all. He answers that you occupy a station ( Stand), you are husband or wife, son or daughter, boy or girl. 5 In a sermon in his Kirchenpostille, on 1 Corinthians 7:20, Luther raises the direct question as to what it means to have a vocation.
“But such persons can hardly be found the very fact that one vows for all time shows that he expects thus to win something from God.
