Nitty-Gritty
Mark 6:1-3a ~ Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?” 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.”
“Listen,” Daniel said as he shook a wrench in my face, “you can’t tell me that some guy who lived two thousand years ago and walked around in a white robe telling stories is going to make a difference to me today.” He swept his arm around to indicate the garage and the cars on blocks. “I don’t have time,” he continued. “I mean, this Jesus stuff is okay for some people – like kids who like the stories and might even get something out of them. But for me? I don’t think so. Jesus has nothing to do with a guy who has a timing chain to set on one car and a cracked block to replace on another.”
Daniel echoes the way lots of people feel about Jesus. They see him like a plastic figurine on a car dashboard – smiling, robed, a halo suspended above his head.
That’s a myth. Jesus was a carpenter. You can picture him in a shop that opens onto a dusty street, with a sign over the door that reads “Jesus ben Joseph, Carpenter.” Imagine him bending over a cedar plank clamped to a bench. He wears a leather apron, and perspiration drips off his face. He reaches for a knife, then a mallet. The shop is filled with the fragrance of cedar and cypress shavings that cover the floor.
Jesus of Nazareth toiled as a carpenter for eighteen years or more, growing muscles in his arms and calluses on his hands. He knew the demands of business – estimates to make, orders to take, and merchants with whom to barter a fair price. He knew the pressures of family. Jesus had younger brothers and sisters. .
- Jesus was no plastic saint. His world was gritty, smelly and dirty. And when his life ended, he suffered a filthy, sweaty, painful death. Because he lived this life, he understands our lives. He knows about our struggles with life and work and school and problems; he had to deal with them too. He’s a real-world Savior.
Prayer:
Dear God – Help us to go to you with the tough stuff that we encounter each day. Knowing you’ve been where we are, we know we can rely on you to listen and understand us. Thank you.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
