Jiro Dreams of Sushi: Working as Unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23)
In Jiro Dreams of Sushi, 85-year-old Jiro Ono has made sushi for over sixty years. His restaurant has three Michelin stars. He still wakes early, still perfects his craft, still dreams of better sushi. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." Jiro doesn't make sushi for fame—he made it for decades before anyone noticed. He makes sushi because excellence is its own offering. Vocation becomes worship when we bring our whole selves to the work, whether anyone is watching or not. Jiro's sushi is his daily liturgy.
