The English writer, Dorothy Sayers, made an interesting comment about Jesus’s carpentry:
"No crooked table leg or ill-fitting drawer ever, I dare swear, came out of the carpenter shop at Nazareth. Nor, if they had, could anyone believe that they were made by the same hands that made heaven and earth."
Think of it: Jesus’ daily work revealed the divine character. His daily work showed God’s integrity.

Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." (John 6:29)
