The First Labor Day. September 6, 2004 is the annual Labor Day celebration in America. This day is set aside as a holiday to celebrate the American worker. It’s typically a day filled with joy because everyone is off work and enjoying the start of American football season. However, if you look at labor from a biblical perspective, you find that the first labor day could be traced back to the Garden of Eden. Here is where sin entered the world and therefore two aspects of labor were introduced. First, a woman’s labor with child birth was now going to hurt.
