The Carpenter

Mark 6:1-3 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” They asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

Jesus grew up creating wood pieces with his hands. Joseph passed down the valuable skill of carpentry to his sons. He didn’t have multiple college degrees, but Jesus changed the world when he began working in His Heavenly Father’s business. No matter what your career choice, God can use your unique skill set to touch the lives of others. You have been called to do great things. Be bold as you move into your calling.
