Not Just a Carpenter (Mark 6:1-6)

 Many in this world claim that Jesus was only human, but like in the following passage,  He is not just a carpenter.  He looks like one but maybe looks are not everything and again faith does not walk by sight.  It walks by believe.

Mark 6:1-6

v.3-6 Then they scoffed. “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon.  And his sisters live right here among us.”  They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.  Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” And because of their unbelief, he could not do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them.  And he was amazed at their unbelief.

I often wonder about the state of the world at present time.  For us to have any faith we must have a balanced view of who Jesus Christ is.  Is he just human or just fully spiritually divine?  Either of these beliefs are wrong.  He is fully human and fully God or else your faith will be affected.  We must all agree on this one thing alone.

He is not just a carpenter he is the One who made the carpenter, and he made His Cross.  He even provided a way for every human to be saved and embrace eternal life.

To me the world is sadly unreliable and going to destruction.  I look forward to a New Earth ruled by Christ.  The earth of today is not perfect and nothing perfect should be expected out of it.  Perfection only comes from God through our faith if we would dare believing for a few minutes.  Our faith in God’s hands would be like a superpower in this world because it would be activated by God’s Presence.  This world would be a better place if a few more had faiths in the Son of God and the son of man.  He would drastically change the world with just a dozen of us.
