What are We Building?

An ancient parable tells of a traveler journeying through a medieval village one morning on his way to visit a relative in a distant town. As he enters the village through the far gate, he quickly encounters a stone carver struggling to load a very large, recently honed boulder onto his cart. The traveler asks the laborer, "What are you doing?" Frustrated under the weight of his task, the stone carver grunts to the stranger, "I am working for my bread." As the traveler continues through the village, he comes upon another laborer shaping a large stone with chisel and hammer. He asks the second stone carver, "What are you doing?" The laborer answers, "I am an apprentice perfecting my trade of carving stone." Finally, on the far edge of the village the traveler comes to another laborer sanding and smoothing his recently fashioned stone. He asks the third stone carver, "What are you doing?" Sweat dripping from his face, the laborer replies with pride, "I'm building a cathedral." We are building more than cathedrals. We are building the very kingdom of God.
