Creation
By a carpenter mankind was made and by a carpenter mankind is remade. (Desiderius Eramus, 16th century Dutch scholar and priest)
Jesus was raised in the home of a skilled craftsman. No doubt he learned how to work diligently and creatively. And his creative ability as both God and man is cause for worship. “For through him God created everything. . . Everything was created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16). And, when we have a relationship with God, he begins to recreate us to become like him.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (1 Corinthians 5:17)
