I was sitting around with a couple of youngsters from the Jewish side of the family, and I don't even remember how we got on the topic, other than it's that time of year etc.
We all acknowledge that Jesus was a carpenter, and I wondered aloud why there is no biblical record of what kind of carpenter he was.
Was he a framing guy or a finish carpenter? Was his work any good? Did the contractors book him well ahead and dangle bonuses in front of him?
According to the biblical record, the answers to those questions are who knows? who knows? and who knows?
Well, take a moment to think about it.
We tossed this back and forth for a good half hour and the consensus we arrived at was, if he was a half decent carpenter, he would have been way too busy to ever be a prophet.
