Bible Question: Is retirement mentioned in the Bible? |
Bible Answer: Dear greyfox, No, retirement as a cessation of responsibility is not mentioned. Certainly retirement from a career is not portrayed clearly. As to qualifying for social security, company benefits, or disability insurance, no. Removal of responsibility regarding gifts or ministry, no. Basically, death seems to be the only way to stop doing anything. If you cannot do what you were doing, you do something else. When you are incapable of doing anything, family and church help you until your final 'retirement.' I don't know if this encourages you, or discourages you, I pray the former :-) Keep your eyes (of your spirit) bright! Many blessings in Jesus' name, charis |
