The Labor Day is near in the United States. It is the first Monday of September.
Did Jesus Christ labor while He was preaching from a village to a village in Palestine 2000 years ago?
Did He just enter a village, accompanied by several followers, in the morning?
Did He just find a house where He could probably get foods or meal?
Did He eat breakfast in a house and then idle away while villagers were going out for work?
At noon, did He also take a meal in another house in a village, then hanging around while villagers were busy working.
And when people took a break, He and His followers went to working place or fields to preach something?
And then after preaching and when people went back to their work, Jesus Christ and His followers started to take a stroll?
And then, when villagers finished their daily work, Jesus Christ and His followers started to preach something and showed some miracles?
Then, He and His followers took supper in a villager's house and started for another village?
Did Jesus Christ and His followers repeat this habit seven days per week?
Entering a village, finding a convenient house, taking meal, idling away, preaching something, idling away, showing a few miracles, taking meal, collecting gift money, and leaving for another village with foods and money hidden in followers' pockets?
Then, Jesus Christ became the greatest saint in the human history?
Is that why people with titles in religious bodies today behave like superior to those who labor?

Did Jesus Christ say, "As I am the son of God, I do not labor but preach and eat"?
Or did He say, "As I am a son of man (a son of a Black in present day speaking), I and my followers will labor with you and then you will listen to me and allow me to eat"?

Nowadays, in an office in a big city, say in New York, they are selling and buying money in a form of bills, bonds, securities, certificates, instruments, financial contracts, foreign currencies, and future payments and purchasing.
They call it business.
It is numbers, figures, symbols, sheets of paper, digital signals, electronic signals, computer files, and just memory and fantasy that they call commodities.

If you are true Christians, leave your assets and titles, such as a priest or a pope, and go and enter a poor village just like Jesus Christ and His followers 2000 years ago. And, then Angels might tell you what to do.
Indeed, you should visit a house in a poor village and tell a man or a woman in the house that you have come to save his or her family. Then, a story will start to evolve.

Now you have to decide whether to go to New York for sinful money transactions or to a poor village for holy labor.
Truly, your labor will become holy if it is intended to be holy (meaning not for money or your own happiness).

Colossians 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
(Don't you feel being insulted if the value of your everyday labor is measured with money you earn through your everyday labor? It should be measured with mercy the God gives to you due to your everyday labor. Now, which do you want money from devils or mercy from the God?)
"...They aren't willing even to lift a finger to help them..."
