Truth Exposed:   Carpenter

Mark 6:3 tells us Jesus was a carpenter.  The Greek defines carpenter as a “builder.”  If you pay close attention when you read scripture, there are many, many plays on words.  This is one.  Jesus’s occupation defined him as a builder, but people don’t look deep enough.  Jesus was a builder of the Kingdom, not just tables and chairs; he may have made furniture out of wood, but his calling was to make saints out of sinners.  We are called to be carpenters also, builders the Kingdom.
