Work

Is not this the carpenter?  (Mark 6:3 ESV)

 

Work

 

Jesus was a carpenter.  He was also God’s Son, the second person of the Trinity, the Messiah, the Salvation of the Universe, and completely divine as well as completely human.

 

But note, He was a carpenter.

 

It seems that we modern Christians have this idea that there is holy work, and mundane work; Godly work, and human work; regular work, and sanctified work.

 

Jesus, though, was a carpenter as well as the Savior.

 

And that makes our work sanctified, too.

 

Jesus sanctifies (makes holy)  enables us to do our mundane, apparently un-Spiritual, earthly work, transforming it into Holy work.  Spiritual work.  True work. Sanctified work.

 

He does this by sanctifying US.  He does this by changing us to be like HIM.  He does this because He created work, works in the Trinity, and is the cause for our adoption into His family.

 

He will fix whatever is wrong with our work… first of all by bringing us into His work.
