The Master Carpenter

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? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 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.—Mark 6:2–3 NIV

Jesus skillfully constructs our lives. Our experiences sand away the rough edges and smooth out our character. He invests His time, love and tender care in completing each and every one of us.

Lord Jesus, You are the Master Carpenter shaping us into works of art.
