“Is This not the Carpenter, the Son of Mary?” Mark 6:3
An unusual Christmas text, perhaps, but it’s an interesting theme …this thought of Jesus as a carpenter. Jesus, learning His craft from Joseph – how to measure, hammer, nail, plane, saw and sand, how to use the right tools to produce the perfect effect, knowing just when to stop, lest He spoil His work of art. No doubt He became an expert at His occupation, one who could be trusted to create a masterpiece. It’s no wonder the Apostle Paul, years later, should remind us that “We are His workmanship…” (Ephesians 2:10). I love that! He is the one who is making us, shaping us, moulding us – and He knows exactly which tools to use, when to stop and start, and how much pressure to exert, in order to create a masterpiece. He is skilled at His occupation. He never makes a mistake. And He promises to Uinish the work He has begun in us! So I am asking myself, at the end of this year – and perhaps you could ask yourself too – am I squirming under the hammer, wriggling away from the sandpaper, struggling against the painful nails and the seemingly endless bufUing? Is my response, “Lord, what are you doing to me?” Or am I yielding myself graciously under His skilled hands, surrendered to the process that will make me the work of art He has designed me to be? I pray our Christmas celebration of Jesus will be Uilled with joy and a tangible sense of His presence. And may the New Year, in spite of so much heartache and devastation all around, Uind us with our eyes Uirmly Uixed on Jesus, and our lives fully surrendered to Him – the One who is the author and Uinisher of our faith.
