Thinking about why Heaven would introduce Christ to a hammer and a nail at such a tender age, when they ultimately would be the at the crucifixion, what the gun was at Newtown, USA.
Why did our Father's choice of a father have to be a Carpenter?
Was it perhaps to familiarize His son with the hitting-cracking effect of a hammer on the head of a nail?
If so it sure made Jesus Christ very frank. He'd hit the nail on the head whenever he got the chance.
Was Jesus being prepared? I wonder the number of times Jesus accidentally hit his own hand.
I wonder if he learned to value the 'ordinary' from watching his father Joseph carve something out of nothing. A lesson that ultimately led Him to refine fishermen into change catalysts.
O God! the lessons you teach!
